More problemos 
It can start up but it wont run, some chump cur the wiring loom. Also he's unsure if the steering coloumn has been loosened. I don't think its worth the risk driving it back
So...
Do I wait for my Dad to get back & go down with a trailer? Or risk the AA plan? Long way from home if they tell me to GTF
Rang a place today & they wanted £210 to recover it - fook that!

done it a few times 
OR
hire a trailer for the day its only about £30. i have a tow truck BUT would cost alot in fuel to get there and back
The wiring loom has been cut & the steering coloumn is dodgy, reckon I could blag it with the AA?

Yeah, well it was on the auction starting at £300 with the bits but no one bidded
I've payed less & I dont get all the spares. So it'll just be the interior & thats it
As for a speedeo - my sat nav tells me my speed. Does that count?
Not sure about lights though as the dash is missing
Or I could push it round the corner & ring them
