Thanks for that Uwe. Sorry about keep indicating! I didn't realise you were doing your directors bit....I might have tried a bit harder to stay in front had I known winkeye

Car looks like its handling ok so that's a result for the first time out this year ( since June!)

Arron, I called you before we left as I got fed up mopping up oil and topping up. It looked as though it was getting on the wheels/ brakes so we thought we should call it a day. The lids still here and for sale if you want it. My ol' mate is a cagey bugger and won't part with anything until he see's notes. A few bad deals I think. Once bitten.....

PM me if your still interested.

It won't be 'fully' stripped.

But certainly won't be far off.

Anyway, we have a tow car :)
