yep at 6am this morning!!! not exactly the warmest time of the day to be standing around in a layby lol.....

am gonna have it looked at over the weekend, and if it is serious then she is gonna have to go!!!

But on the plus side at least i can get another one and start all over again

Shame, I know what you mean about cold mornings. I always keep a blanket in the boot just in case I break down and need to keep warm (and also for the rare chance I might bump into Kylie and she's feeling frisky!)
