What about the red van in the background is that coming as well.
Well I did ask, as the red van is running a 850cc engine transplanted from a Reliant Robin.
I checked with Charlie, but he does not need an extra power plant to run the cooling fan, so the van won't be coming

Has any one ever said Peter, accountants are the funniest Guys on the planet

nope procede is fine as far as I can tell, it's the O2 sensors that are playing serious havoc...

Was absolutely gutted yesterday as I've spent so long working on it - and just couldn't figure it out

Anyway 5 of the 9 days will be in Margarita staying at the Hilton so that is quite safe. In Caracas it'self there is a lot of redeveloped areas to visit at night where the more well off go and is quite safe with a local friend/guide.
Let me know what Margarita is like. I very nearly went there and would have stayed in the Hilton funnily enough. PM me when you get back and let me know if its worth a visit.
