I'm starting to wonder if you are me on another computer! 2016 was a bit disappointing, 2017 has a lot of potential and I need to do all the same jobs as you except the Td cambelt but I've done enough of them already. Merry Christmas all, have a lot of fun.

But a series 2 CX estate of some form would be more comfortable, and have even more space!

Expect me asking advice on lots of really simple issues next year. Heater matrix and cambelt on V6 and cambelt on TD spring to mind, thought i'd get them mentioned before partaking in a little few celebratory drinks lest I forget, hic! [emoji3]

I know nothing of the heater matrix, but I remember I had to get my wife involved as there is a bolt/item that requires a very small hand to touch.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas day, and that next year goes to Plan! [emoji4]

Scottish and aged in oak barrels by any chance? :)

I share exactly the same feelings about 2017. I just know it's going to be a vintage year...
