Im glad to hear that you sorted out your spark plug problem before they towed the vehicle as it sounds like an expensive job.

Im just realy undecided on the best way forward, the place im going to be staying is up in the hills and I could really do with transport to go and look at the surrounding area and just for day to day convenience.

When I stayed there previously for a year I had a mountain bike and had a really good time exploring on that but this time there will be no bike and my bro will be joining me.

Perhaps I should stop being tight.

Anyhow thanks again for the advice its much appreciated
