Sum of its parts

The Cougar Continuous Improvement Programme is rolling on albeit at a costly pace. That's Ford genuine parts for you - nobody in the aftermarket business can be bothered to do sumps for Ford Zetecs? The new sump is now in place, sealed and filled nicely and a major service (they all are with this car) is complete. It is driving rather nicely now and the only thing outstanding at the moment is to replace the rather thin set of front tyres that, if checked by the authorities could get me a nasty fine. I'll be round at Farmers first thing Monday morning.
