This sounds like a 'tilting' ship VERY PUNNY. ...or a five-sided one

Couldn't keep up with Simon and of course Marko on the way back home though.

By all accounts things look good. Fingers crossed. I treated myself to a nice 3/8 socket set as I said earlier, now I'm looking at all tools/spanners that I would like, but in reality don't need. Just a tad looking forward to the craic & all that's involved. Good grief, I can feel all grumpiness being lifted from me..... I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Monday lunchtime to Mainland Orkney, stay with friends overnight then down to Scotland Tuesday arrive Inverness late afternoon. Weather is fantastic here, sat outside with a glass or two of wine until late evening, perfect, makes getting through the stormy winter worthwhile. Yes, like Jimboy, so looking forward to this trip and meeting everyone and their coupes.

I thought I had a similar problem just after I got mine- but then I remembered I hadn't bought the turbo version...

The place which called themselves experts did not have the correct plug in adaptor to access the ecu. However plan B, Monday, off to Nairn where a garage I do know has knowledge of these rare beasties. That's really my main problem up here, no real specialist garage that can really understand a Coop. Here's hoping they don't find something bad... I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time
