So.... I popped into Williams....

Post by Stanley »

Continuing with my BCR overhaul; yesterday I popped into Williams Manchester to pick up these two washers,

They are part of the petrol tank fitting arrangement. Zinc plated and 37p each. So no worries there.

But then I decided to have a coffee and a browse :)

Ended up spending a bit more than 74p :shock:

Pictures soon :D

I once went to John Clark BMW for a replacement key, while I was waiting Jenny booked a test drive in an X5, fortunately she didn't like it - that was a close shave...
