Just patched up Greg's kanckered flexi with a piece of ali and a wedge of gun gum and had to drive my car onto the rugby pitch because of the airshow The grass was a bit wet so....! Drifting and donuts are fun!

I couldn't see if I made a mess but hey...

Give them the owners manual and talk them through it first. Definatly worth it or they will just ignore it and jack it wherever they feel like...!
They may well have trouble changing bulbs in the number plate lights, fog lamp and reversing light, you have very rusty nuts...!

They only need changing when the heads rust off the screws that hold the grills in or the number plate lamps in. It's sort of a built in timer...
The numberplate lamps are off a Rolls Royce BTW...
