My cheeks are hurting where I've been grinning so much! :grin:
We went to a country pub after I'd pick her up which is basically down a long straight road. Halfway there I decided to take a bit of a detour through the twisty bits. Haven't had so much fun in a long time. :lol:
One of the problems with the car was that the rev counter wasn't working, and apparently hadn't been for some time. After spending way too many hours on here last night I thought I'd give that self-diagnostic check thing a go when we got home. After pressing the trip meter and then starting the engine all the gauges sprang into life (including the tacho). It's worked ever since!!!
Re: the needle getting stuck, I vaguely recall my Melina Puma doing this and if I flicked the gauge it would spring in to life. Sometimes it just got a bit stuck I think.
