    Lenore's not especially happy as our credit card is now £134 heavier than it was 2 hours ago. She muttered something like "WTF!?! that's almost as much as ******* diamondbrite, for ****'s sake." But I'm sure she's like the results.

    Now I just need a dry day and I'll send her off in one of the Diamondbrite cars and let me get on with it.

    Looking forward to getting stuck in.

    Many thanks to everyone who's contributed to the thread, except BS and Gaj, who should be banished from ever owning cars ever again.

    Special thanks to Ian King, VintageB3 and Scottiecoop for invaluable advice during this adventure.
