Damn they forgot to quote that in the magazine article Peter, they shall be 2.1s, shall be estates, and must be YBLs :lol:

Glad you're back on the road. Its a pity what happened to the green one as I know you'd looked after it well over the years.

Of course there'll be a space for a spare to keep in stock...

What was that old nanny saying, one in use, one in the wash and one in the drawer... :lol:

I wondered what had happened when you mentioned this on FCF, ive only just logged on here and found this.

Sorry to hear about the accident, i hope everyone is now ok.

Shame to see the car like that, but it looks as it it stood up well and kept everyone safe.

Good job you had a backup!

Thanks citroenmad

Wife and daughter in law have almost recovered from the bruising and shock and the kisds were Ok. The car is already proving to be a very good source of spares. I dont have another spare so am still on the lookout but they are getting very scarce now.
