30 mins work, mostly working out how to get it apart, to save the cost of a replacement. Result!
Thats excellent news heero.

Except mine is WiFi, and I can get the full 10 hours that they quote, thats with playing games and streaming from Netflix, which looks great by the way

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4

My first car was an MG Metro Turbo which is what I think was replaced by the Gti. Only 4 gears with a top speed of 93mph but oh hell it was fast getting there, I often beat motorbikes from traffic lights and I once beat an RS Turbo and Golf Gti 16v from a standing start to 50 mph

Natalie is busy this weekend so I'm off down to see my sister in Chichester.

Nice but I don't relish the weekend away from the missus.

The final single marque convoys leave Hopwood services around 10.00 for the run to Crofton park which is opposite the old Longbridge plant.
Ah we'll probably pass you in t'other direction on the way down to Wembley.
