Re: Finally can stop looking for an S1! Result!!!! :o)
Well Done Ferg!! And congratulations!! Your new car looks lovely!! You definately did the right thing by walking away from that first one. It makes me so angry when sellers lie, especially when they know a potential buyer is travelling a huge number of miles. Chuffed!!
Happy driving!!

Thanks folks.
It's a standard S1 but from the looks of things that plenty for me to be going on with. I can always tinker later in ownership for some extra horses.
I need to sort out something other than temporary cover before I take it out. And sods law, not enough of the insurance brokers are open on Sunday. I might pop home and get the car at lunchtime if I've been able to sort it out in the morning tomorrow.
To be honest I'm so knacked from yesterday, I'm happy just reading through all the manuals and history etc. Roll on tomorrow.

Pleased to see that you got a good result after being screwed around like that.
Funny how things work out, but having a back up plan was well worth while.

You'll be wanting to change the blue temp sender then, but they're only a few of quid.Ferg wrote:The car had a constant 73-77 degrees temp all the way home, and drove great.
