Default Back in the room... but no snow

Fuel pump replaced as predicted, MJ. The unit that came out of the car was marked VDO, as was the replacement. It took the garage a while to do, as they'd agreed to pull out my gargantuan sub box which weighs upwards of 60 kilos! Nice and smooth on the way home, and dare I say it - it seemed livelier with a bit of spirited driving as they say. I cannot get over the fact that it's really quite small, and not even as long as a toothbrush. Still, I suppose it's done a sterling job over the last 19 years.

Re: my breakdown on Sunday night...
Fair play to the RAC for listening - I didn't want to be waiting for 3 hrs inside a freezing cold car with no engine running and therefore no heating - so I suggested to them about a lowloader. One was sent in due course, so it enabled the RAC to send the man in a van to another customer instead. I love it when people show a bit of common-sense.
