If it helps, I really can relate. Normally in the past I would pay someone else to do the dirty work but in ONE day I had the car in for MOT twice and then back home and a complete brake bleed - handbrake adjustment etc etc... you suddenly just get on with it. I still need to sort my electrics, disassemble and reassemble the speedo/angle drive, paint facias/window trim... blah blah blah.. and I ain't trusting ANYONE with my car (well, I'd trust you club guys but that's different) so I'm doing it myself. Don't rush #2727 if she's not gonna make it... take heed of Project Vixen! I should have free time coming up if I can help at all... maybe time for another "D" day for work? Shame about the Europe thing - I have 5 weeks holiday to take yet!
