    Just back from a long round trip out by ashbourne and via naas.
    The bad news:
    No truck, the agreed work had not been done and the doe was failed again yesterday. Took my deposit back and cancelled the deal, 5 weeks of waiting for nothing

    The good news:
    The 535 passed the nct without a blemish (despite me nearly passing out when she was in the brake test:P )

    Onwards and upwards re the truck shopping. Got my eye on a couple more possibilities. Both petril this time!

    Speaking of dgt, now that I've the new wheel nuts, I'll be visiting the dark end of Naaaaavaaaan to take advantage of his tools replacing them. (My mechanic was visibly relieved when I informed him he didn't have to replace them)
    All other thank yous aside, I was considering letting him loose in the gtv.

    Is this a wise option? :D

    Help the c5 won't start. 1.6hdi. Turn the key and nothing happens at all. Relay clicking in the engine, no starter.

    Any ideas.
