Re: DRL's.......
You'd think they'd encourage people to provide evidence of crimes. After all, we'd be doing the difficult bit for them, all they would have to do is send a fixed penalty or something in the post.

Re: Question about Car Batteries
It should be fine Nick, it's just a bit more "Heavy Duty" than the standard one. It would be like running a 1.6 Capri which usually had the old 083 battery with the O97 as fitted to a 2.8 or 3.0 - just a higher capacity which actually would be a benefit in the winter with heater, lights, ...

So once im done and have ...

Tim's 'Blags' are so ridiculous they are funny, although a bit cringe worthy.......
