That's not it....

I did use some peanut butter on it today too. So anyone with a peanut allergy, stay away from my car. :twisted:

That is a real shame Mark :(

Tesco peanut butter is good stuff.., Don't knock it!!!

Not only is it good for mirrors and scuttle panels it's quite good to eat too... Especially on home-made bread...

It's good stuff Jim. I was quite surprised at how effective it is.

They're to help the washers seat on the lattice under the scuttle.

I think it highly likely that I'll be leaving my SM at home - it continues to conk out when the engine temperature gets to the top edge of the normal zone, which only took a 10 minute delay today. We will be fitting new HT leads to see if that cures it, but in best old car fashion, the brake pad warning light has come on, despite brand new front pads and 500 mile old rear ones.

However, my XM ABS issues have been sorted so that is definitely on.

Sorry to hear about the SM Charles but hopefully it will soon get sorted and look forward to meeting you with the XM! Regards, Matthew T.
