Ah well, if you ever get sick of them let me know. My descent into specialist rare Green Oval shite is becoming so pronounced that a boggo Series barely even gets a second glance now.

Some transits that have come in from Malta that were registered here in the 80s people have simply applied for the logbook using the original number and a lost logbook form, doesn't seem to be any link between how long they've been gone for our even if they have an export market

Oh bugger. Since the cat on Mrs Tetleys CRV was stolen and replaced, I haven't managed to get the EML to stay off.

The MIL depends on the age of the motor and will it stay off long enough to go through the mot. I cheat with one customers Scenic and turn the light off when pulling up for test and it usually makes it through before putting it back on when I deliver it back to the customer.

As Panhard says it's age related. 2003 or before iirc?
