Apparently the Disco is now ready to be collected. And as predicted, is going to cost a small fortune. Won't be getting much change out of (to steal I phrase I read in the Disco section yesterday!) a bag of sand. Still, on the plus side I'll have a recon gearbox, new clutch and a few other bits fixed!
Now if you excuse me, I must return to rummaging around underneath the cushions on the sofa!
