Did you park at Tescos like I said?
I've not been in the place since it was refurbed. Use to go there many years ago when my mate was the bar manager. I use to work in a boozer just up the road from there. The Cowley Road has been my playground for about 12 years now! Shame all the good pubs have become student bars now.

Didnt make it to Tesco,s mate, fanblade chewed through a coolant pipe.
Parked up at Cutteslowe park, and got a taxi to venue. Called out the AA after , and have to say the bloke who turned up knew his stuff.Wrapped the hose in a black sticky tape called Alfa, topped up the coolant, ran it up to operating temp and then bled the system. Also carried out some kind of test to check the headgasket, then followed us to the M40, can,t knock his service. Did,nt even try to sell me a battery.

Both the AA and RAC guys are spot on round Oxford. you really should have given me a bell mate as I would have been more than happy to picked you up and dropped you back to your car.
Next time you come to Oxford for a gig leave your car at mine and I be happy to dop you off. That way you know your cars going to be safe and you wont have to worry about no theiving sod charging you over the odds for cab fair!

Gooner - I won't be able to help after all - I've got a huge amount of running around to do (Blissfully in my E30) as the water pump siezed on my Z3 on Sunday (miles from home...) when it went the viscous fan punched a hole in my Rad and did untold damage to almost every associated part - so I'm running around trying to sort this.. (big thanks due to Karl at CotswoldBMW)
Sorry to let you down - Best of luck with getting it sorted.
