Thanks Paul, would be going from Oxford to Essex so a bit of a stretch but I will keep that in mind.

I wish, I do have a friend with a trailer but I’m loath to tap him up as AW will be an all day round trip. Just looking at all the options really.

Following this with interest.

So 307 has finally been booked in for a refurbish after a long stay in storage and for one reason or another the car with need to be transported to the garage. Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom or any experience. The AA use a company called AnyVan which doesn’t fill me with confidence but...

This same issue used to drive me nuts until I stumbled upon the fact that if I moved the leads under the passenger seat the lights would go out. I cable tied them up to the bottom of the seat.

Have a good one everyone and wishing all good health in the New Year. Stay safe folks. Jules

I hope I’m not stating the obvious (I guess I am) that that looks pretty bad and unexpected to be honest. A good reminder to the rest of us to check our (made of cheese) jacking points.

Arrived in double quick time with the usual Ed wrap it to an inch of its life packaging 🙂As always, perfect.

Yes please if still available. I was convinced I had bought both upper and lower parts years ago. Anyway I only have the uppers and the above will at least allow me a spare when it begins to get brittle and crack. Yup, they do that!
