  5. Wonderful stuff. One of the best presents you can give your daughter is getting her involved in mechanical things early on. She will be thanking you forever. Well done Dad.
     
  6. She asks to help as she is gonna end up having the beetle I think she is only 7

  12. Easily done given the huge amount of work you've put in, things sometimes get overlooked. That's why I shall still be taking ours for an MOT even when it's exempt:thumbsup:

  18. What is that big 'tank/lump' in the middle of your heater pipework? looks like a heat exchanger or fuel tank. Do you have some kind of auxiliary heating?
    Congrats on the MOT
