Crikey .. just remembered 
Thanks everyone for the nice comments, they're very much appreciated.
The farewell shindig went off exceedingly well, with several thoughtful pressies from her former colleagues. Got the task of babysitting the two little chaps meself .. and was duly awoken by a couple of Skoda Octavia taxis outside in the wee small hours
Thanks again everyone!

Autostop's Porth (in the Rhondda Valley) branch set mine to WIM's specs over a year ago and I've had no issues with their work
Needed alignment only (after track rod end change) and also tweeked one of the rears without me asking. Camber and caster angles were bang on. Usually buy our tyres there too
Have a gander at: http://www.autostopwales.co.uk/
Whilst they also have a branch close to M4 J36 at Bridgend, I personally prefer to use their Porth branch, which is about 15 minutes from M4 J34.
Rob Hughes is da man to speak with!

In a few hours time (10pm to be exact), Mrs Seth clocks-off at our local ASDA for the very last time, and officially retires after a career-span of 47 years
Her colleagues have sorted a farewell bash at a local hostelry on Sunday evening to mark the occasion:
They've planned a few quiet drinks and some grub ... which'll no doubt be followed by a (good) few noisy drinks!
Congratulations Pamela

The Monroe Ride Levellers in conjunction with coil assisters on our TD Estate work a treat!
Nicely-balanced with no rear end sag!

General Car Chat / Re: When to change shocks
« on: 09 June 2015, 23:15:16 »Thanks for that. I'll see what the prices are before prising open my normally welded close wallet.
Fitted Kilen TD-specific front coils to several ... and (from memory) so did Turk to his TD.
Ride height/quality and handling haven't been compromised either
Kilen part number is: 31042 ... and around 80 quid for the pair
