Took family to Halfords to buy and fit a new car seat. Got a group 1-2-3 so that should last a few years.

Well today I have spent the day claying, fixing scratches, polishing and glossing Prince. Changed numberplates for new ones (old original ones were really scabby) and treated all the plastics. He looks lush now!

Kinda fixed the boot, wouldnt open unless i used the key, now it opens without the key, but it won't lock with the central locking, so i guess the actuator is faulty, thats the next job on the list.

Hi Gary

The economy was getting terrible, struggling to get above 30mpg with mainly motorway runs.

Took a trip to Oldham to pick up the wheels/winter tyres and cabin air filter from Simon (tt82), thank you Simon.
A lovely set of wheels and tyres they are too.
So the car got some cobwebs blown away on her first motorway run in months, always a good thing.
Never had time to visit the black pudding mine unfortunately, ah well.

Oh, and it rained.
