Sad?
Should be a happy day - you've now got a nice practical daily-driver engine in there.

ha, yeah, thats the reason for it, but if it doesnt work then i can't do weekend driving, let alone daily! it has been mot'd for about 7 months now, and i think i genuinely must have done about 1000 miles in it. remember...daily driver...rubbish! haha, ahwell!
