looking at a 2nd Gen, needs rear crank seal replaced, fueling issue sorted and some panel work (thats code for a satin black paint job btw) I'm just letting him get the battery charged so he can start it (after wasting 5hrs on the round trip there and 90 mins dicking about trying to get it started) although if he can't get it started then my buying price will drop accordingly 3rd gen are nice but too shiny for what I want right now and to be honest my wallet won't reach that far!

Could of been worse, they could of called you Adrian...then you'd of had to be a plumber!!

Funny how it works over here, trades are very segmented, you HAVE to be a qualified plumber to do anything other than change washers, you HAVE to be a trade certified tiler to install tiled showers, etc etc and as for electrics...you can change a bulb...thats all! Was a bit of a shock to the system and I thought the UK was red tape done to death!!!
