cheers....and how's this for a coincidence....it happened out in the country, on a country lane about 10 miles from where we live in MK. We stopped outside a house (no other houses about), mrs went and knocked on their door to ask where we were (for the rac man). we call rac and the man of the house turns up. he comes out to offer us a cuppa while we are waiting. I tell him I will get the rac to take it to the garage who looks after it (VAGtech), he says he works next door and supply's the parts for them, and when he gets in tomorrow he will price up for the past ready for Jon at VAGtech.....its a small world.
