Got Radiator fan fitted today, need to get a new sensor though and it's getting done on wednesday. So at moment fan is on all the time..better than no fan though.

Tried to fit new horn BUT front bumper needs to come off as wires all coroded and need space so Getting done on wednesday too.

Got new Alternator belt fitted too..........

Raced a 3 door renault 19 16v...He came right up my arse then booted it past me on a roundabout so I followed him up the dual carriageway..in the end he had to pull in to let me go past him.... he looked shocked..

true, the clio engine is very "peaky" and cant match the low down grunt of the XE...
