Re: Parking ticket
I got one last week while I was working, first time in ten years. Last time I had one I ignored it and never heard any more, this one I sent to the office for them to contest it as I was working on a live breakdown at the time. We attended a 4x4 in a multi storey, keys were lost so out came the ska...

Re: Very clean...
suppose it does look good in a picture,closer inspection could reveal a diffrent story,17,000 seems impossibly low mileage for the age I bought a 92 nova luxe+ for £375. Had 4000 miles on the clock, old boy bought it, drove it for a bit, kicked the bucket and was sat in garage for around 10 years. ...

Loose grommit, rusty hole?
Cheack around the windscreen and peel the rubber back slightly, my car has a tin worm nest on the passenger under the screen seal, possibility is slim, but check for it any way.

I paid £180 for full timing belt kit supplied and fitted by bury engine centre and £210 3 years later with a water pump change. Pricey I know, but its guaranteed, id rather spend £200 than £600 and the...

Re: de mistiing fog lights
You could remove them and pop them in a bucket of water, you may be able to see a leak, seal it up and hopefully you should be moisture free.
Although be prepared for the standard holes to let in, just plug them up.
