See if you slam the driver's door? The speaker grille falls off. :mrgreen:

Nice wheel, I'd never have thought of giving it wood, works well in there. 340pw

Are there no reasonably deep pot-holes round your manor that could be used as an inspection pit?

I'll have to whizz over before August as I want to present Abby for MOT in person. Depends on decent enough paydays too. :(

Seen as it's gone public over another forum, I might as well beat JPB to posting it here.
