True it was just a bit of bad luck..certainly nothing to do with Stillwell's. They have actually been pretty good.

Anyway, I picked her up a second time yesterday. I've been thinking about getting behind the wheel for the three weeks I was in the UK. Kind of a distraction when I got tired of family stuff.

In the end the over heating was caused by a faulty fan assembly - the thermostat was apparently Ok and sending signals to the fan but the fan was not cutting in - no fan in 35deg temps grid locked on Punt Road meant the electronics cut in and shut everything down.

Now looking forward to the weekend for a first proper drive after three weeks in a diesel Passat hire car!!!

On a positive note yesterday was like taking delivery all over again - which is no bad thing.
