Cossie has been sitting still for over 3 weeks now with broken diff! So so frustrating! Especially as it got nicked last week (and returned!).

Bought a new diff today though so should be running this week

WTF, what a bunch of c**ts!
Hope you get it sorted out soon mate, although glass is a pain in the c*nt as you'll never manage to clear up all the bits, you'll be finding bits in the car for years!

Mine's off the road, and even though I know it'll be running again soon, I'm still down in the dumps.

my orion is nearly finished, but its so hard to find the enthusiasm. its oly been off the road for 3 months.

the only reason i want it finished is cos the scrap men keep knocking the door about it
