Im not a Ford person full stop...
Picked up my new work van, which is a bonus cos the corsa can come of the road now and I can do work (or "touch wood" break it) to it without having to worry about it now which is good.
But it is a Ford Escort 1.8 non turbo denzel thing and is sssooo ssslllooooowwww!!!!!!!
But its almost free motoring so I dont care. It saves puting 20k on my car a year.
So that meant that I had to do something with the Corsa
All wrapped up in its blanket.
But its only to stop all the crud from the tree above dropping on it and having to wash it every time I want to drive it.

The valver is starting to make some odd noises. Don't have time to get it serviced until after PVS

True.
But the bastards have got to get into my gated carpark and then the wheels out and over an 8ft fence first.
