Ok thanks...it was the fuel one he wanted. But expect loads of daft questions cos he will be totally LOST ! lol.
If anybody passes an ultima that's flicking on window wipers to turn, or opening the sunroof to clean the windscreen, ITS US.HELP ! 8)

Mary , it sounds as though you should keep the Scorp, learn to drive and ditch the Hubby! ;D
