Don't push 'em, hold in position hooked under three of the bumps with one hand and give 'em a firm slap where the fourth bump is with the other. Works every time.

Re: Help what fuel to run?
Whether you opt for E5 or E10 it's probably not a bad idea to include a drop of this as well:-

Did you check these? (Nothing to do with me and no idea if they're still available but thought it worth a mention.)

Re: I dunno, it seems safe enough to me...
Mmm, yes, and on re-examination, it does rather look as if one of the gas bottles might also be missing its warning label. That being the case, the local Health and Safety official might want a word with them.

Also, adding the names of a couple of aged parents (or similar) with blemish-free driving records as included drivers often eases the pain somewhat.

Re: Mouldy convertible hood
A recent post about the subject on another site that I also frequent. It's certainly thought-provoking; see what you think:- "Hope some of you may find this useful. My XKR's hood was in a gruesome state after I had to leave the car outside all winter. Green and black mould stains -- the works. ...
