funds mate, im waiting on a credit card from halifax to come thru, didnt want to get it, but have no choice reli.
all the stuff i have brought hasnt cost me much as i have found bargains, n to wat it all came to it would have not covered the cost of fixing it if i didnt buy it all, so i jus needed one large lump sum basically!
cheers james, jus want her back on the road. still loving yours
