Disaster!

We have lost radio contact. The first tragedy has befallen our supposedly trusty steed. Driving home from work today - purely to become accustomed to the car, of course, not because it is so much more fun to drive than my knackered old Austin Maestro - a terrible thing happened: Radio 4 clicked off and couldn't be encouraged back by any amount of knob twiddling.

As if the loss of Radio 4 wasn't bad enough, the trip computer and interior lights have also ceased to be. Just electrical gremlins, of course, but we'll have to add it to the top of the repairs list as it just isn't the same drive without Brian Perkins' soothing voice.
