firstly, is the old certificate of registration equivalent to the new registration document? i got a certificate of registration that goes back 10 or so years, but the guys at the garage where i'm trading in (not my Beetle, so breath... i'm dumb but not that stupid) want a registration document and not the certificate???

Secondly, why yes, milk from a cat should be possible, but would you make cheddar or feta from it?

Ok, here goes, my stupid question foer the week:

On my car, I have a 4 into 1 exhaust and would like to know if the heat from the exhaust will heat up the rear valance and will damage the paint work, please if anybody has had experience with this, let me know, my first stupid question of many to come!

As for the milking a cat, probably get some sort of bree cheese, ;)

No A coil isn't earthed. Think of it as a piece on a piece of the electronic circuit of a radio as opposed to the radio itself.
