Yes, and absolutely delighted with the decision after some long-ish drives over the weekend. Any recommendations for helping a big puppy get over his dislike of the car, however, will be much appreciated. I assume there's no trick and it's just a case of patient reinforcement, small local trips with happy outcomes and making as many happy associations with the car as possible. But, also hoping that there is a trick and someone can share it.

Just to update the 'what to do with dead engined car' question I put on here previously - the best scrap quote I received was £300, but following a mate's recommendation (and people suggested similar on here via ebay) I put an ad up on gumtree as 'for spares or repair £1k', was inundated with messages, ending up selling to the first chap who came round for £800. Could possibly have got more, but everyone was going to look to chip and I'd already told myself I would take £800 so was happy with the entire experience.
