Hi Phil,

> YOU BASTARD!!!

Well, despite my dubious parentage;) it's not an avant, it's a saloon. I
don't know what that does to the rarity, and looks like the missing bus
could be up on autotrader anyway!

It's fast enough till I make sure everything really is working nicely:)
The afterrun coolant pump comes on I noticed last night, how cool (sic) is
that?

If you bring a WoT switch back from Germany that'd be great, there'll be
12 Euros and your choice of beer waiting for you. When's John Birks'
Christmas dinner, I should be able to make it if it's up in area D
on a trip home to Stockport.

Good news about the check engine light then, I was wondering. And if it
makes you feel better about the leather seats, despite an indicated 77k
miles (hmm) the drivers bolster is torn.

Both engine mounts seem ok too, I can get my hand between sump and
sub-frame. The nicest thing about it are all the cowl's are still in
place (even a plastic cover over the metering head), and the oil cooler
lines look nearly new.

Cherio,

Graham.
