    Had a service and a relay fitted on the starter motor so I don't get that "no start when hot" little episodes anymore - well I hope so anyway

    Also heard from my contact in the US that the little rubber seals, that go around my door handles, are on their way

    Had a rubber(?) fuel line split on me on the way to work this morning. You should have seen the puddle of fuel left on the road where I was waiting at the red light

    So I pulled over, taped it up with sparkies tape and drove to autopro for some new fuel lines. So now I have replaced all the fuel lines in the engine bay with new hose and clamps.
