:cheers: Ian and yes if she is happy everyone is happy  ;D
hence the reason I'm looking at the more mod con GU even though I'll probably only be able to get a 98-2002 model it has to be better then the lemon VY wagon she has done nothing but complain about over the past two years and that I have thrown money at the whole time we have had it and it would be right that now I seem to have ironed all the issues out of it that we are going to trade it and be at an even bigger loss lol ahh cars

You dont have to tell me about the VY thing.We have a VE sedan wich has depreciated quicker than last weeks pay.
We are looking at selling it,but its worthless and will end up costing me $$$$$..lesson lernt and time to cut my
losses.
