Following recommendations on here I'm going to do under the transit with dynax UB, however as I'm lazy I want to bang it on with a shutz gun. I don't seem to be able to find it in normal underseal type cans and I don't have any empty either to decant into from the 5l can. Do they do a universal can like a pot for a spray gun to stick it into?

AFAIK They only do the aerosol, the 5ltr can or a 1ltr "pail" which is essentially like an old Dulux tin.

Suggestions welcome please (but none about getting rid of the dog!) I need to keep Bella in the back of the Jag, she is pretty big now but still VERY agile and even though I have put nets between the front seats, she can jump over the top of them, she lands on the driver's seat and is damaging the leather (not badly... yet).

I could use the harness and keep her in place but then it would add about 100% to our average journey times putting the damn thing on, plus I'm a lazy bastard and I won't. She's driving me fucking mad jumping into the front, she really does not like being left even though Chester is there with her and e behaves impeccably.

Buy an estate and get a dog guard.
Even better, a pickup truck with canopy. Keeps the wet dog smell out of the cab.

One can't have too many Jaguars or Mercedes Benz can one.

Indeed, one soon finds that dependable mobility relies on having several of each.

This little twat (RIP Spike) managed to defeat every attempt to keep him on the other side of the dog guard.

As it seems like the end of the world is nigh with fuel prices/ energy prices etc (and I've been drinking and there are no cowboy boots I like on eBay) what tax/ MOT exempt petrol (because LPG conversion for maximum savings) vehicles can the collective brains on here think of that don't have the inflated prices tags of anything ford but are happy to be run daily on local runs big enough for driver and a couple of dogs and shopping.

I guess Vivas and Marinas are relatively unloved - (my wife can drive pretty much anything with synchromesh), Imps seem to be worth a lot of money and I guess panel availability hasn't improved.
