Untill they go wrong... rad leak, or starter problem (Thankfully rare)..
Rads are hoplesly expensive for no reason at all..

After finding shiply a bit of a failure for finding someone to bring the car here, I tried a site called uship.com.
That came up trumps with an offer of £165 which between here and Scotland is not bad at all.
Spoken to the firm and arrangements are now in hand.
She's on her way

They've been good this month Dave. I've just written the September Xantia Files for the Citroenian and could find nothing at all to write about my own cars; touch-wood, the last month of Xantia ownership has been entirely uneventful...
This may of course be famous last words...

That's an incredibly good price. I'll remember that site.
