Hi,
The over heating did not re-occur, and I haven't looked at the coolant level since.
Barbara has agreed to trade in her Hyundai, for another new car ... automatic, and with all necessary disability aids.
I will be researching VAT exemption ... the C&E spiel says the car must be "
substantially" and "
permanently" modified, whatever that means.
I suppose I'll have to go back to the "base" legislation.
In the same vein ... I've met two of Barbara's Social Workers, who are unaware that she is entitled to a Disability Facilities Grant to make our garden
accessible and safe. I can copy the legislation to anybody interested. Unfortunately, our savings limit the amount to a maximum of £1,000, above which we would be means tested. But I understand that we can keep on going back for more £1.000 bites of the cherry.

PS, You can get a DFG for central heating, but only for rooms occupied by the disabled person. Hmmm! Where can you get a new boiler that is selective about which rooms it heats.
