Needs a new Ariel on the roof. No biggie!

Although don't understand how the sensor is glowing red?

Oh and I'd say 29mpg is okay for a 1.6 Petrol. My Focus when I was doing nothing but town mileage would struggle to do 20mpg some weeks.

Another thing on the list, :(
theres no socket for the alloy wheels, and the spare wheel as got a lock on it .

dont know wether to go see the main stealers or have ago at smashing a socket onto the locking nuts on the wheels,
the spare wheel lock iwill have to cut off with the angle grinder :(

If there like the ones we just had to drill out on my sons 407, a socket hammered on wont work. the ones on the 407 had a kind of shear-bolt setup so if you hammer a socket on it just shears off leaving the wheel still firmly on. how much will the stealers cost ??

oh and we had the key/socket for the 407 but it was on stupid tight and just rounded the tool
