Which Brotherton day was that? I went to one a while back... trying out observing without IPSGA for the new modular thing.

Cheers.

October last year - SA training day.

I didn't have any problems with mine (um, apart from a funny noise I couldn't find ), but she was mapped at about 40k and I sold her at about 80k.

I found the car impressive but 5 mpg sounds a bit expensive to run! (sorry for being a pedant).

What have you got instead?

Oops, yes, spot the missing word - that should be 5mpg more!

I part exchanged the Leon for a Honda Civic in half term - the 2.2 diesel engine.

One way of getting rid of the noise, I suppose :mrgreen:

Have you made your way across to Banbury yet?

Sorry Mr C - didn't clock this when you posted it! Nobody wanted to try and tell me what the noise was, simply suggested I started in replacing things, which was going to get messy. (Um, wouldn't have actually been me replacing things, that really would have been messy!

) Given everything else that needed doing too, it was time to move on.

I miss the Seat in a way. I learnt an awful lot in that car, and wondered what on earth I'd done when I first brought the Civic home, but after a while I'm settled, and it's great fun. It does seem to take me a long time to get used to a car, drove a forumite's car on Thursday evening and I don't think I'd have passed my IAM test frankly... :oops:

Anyway, no, I haven't made it to Banbury yet - I may only have a job for a couple more months, so attention and savings are focussed elsewhere right now, unfortunately!
