. . . and being treated to a new clutch (my left leg will love me), cam belt, water pump, upper wishbones (again!), new brake discs and pads all round. Not to mention a repaint of the calipers and the shiny summer wheels going back on with new Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres.

Then she can go back to sleep for a while.

I really am spoiling her at the moment but with over 110,000 miles on the clock and still one of the nicest drives ever she deserves some pampering.

Trouble is, not sure I’ll get to enjoy her as I have a new Citroen C1 at the moment, followed next week by the new Toyota Prius, then a Lexus RX450h, then a VW Golf, then, erm . . . I forget for now . . .

Will definitely have to take her for an “Italian tune-up” once she’s back though!
