New Car!
Well, I've a Jag on the drive, if that's what you mean 
Nige came down this weekend just gone, with Ian and friend Kev. Nothing out of the ordinary until we went to go out on Saturday and noticed a large patch of oil on the floor 
Having spent Sunday hunting around the scrapyard, we noticed on returning to the car that the patch had appeared outside the scrapyard too. BUGGER 
So off to Halfords for some bits and bobs, then back to the house to degrease the engine and see where the leak might be coming from. MISTAKE
Having cleaned off all the gunge the oil now had a clear path out from behind the triangular plate and gush....... out it came at a great rate. DAMN
So, after trying to fix it with some old rubber car matting, everyone piled into Mum's car and went home. My job? To hunt down a Jag dealers for a new oil seal.
Giving the details over the phone I was a bit disturbed when the guy questioned exactly what I mean't by "triangular plate" on the front of the engine. A moments silence, and then, "OOooooohhh THAT triangular plate, I've got 'em in stock, they're a popular item". Best buy a couple then, eh, Nige. But first, off to the bank for a loan.....
