Thanks Chris :y you'll be pleased to hear that 50 miles later and it's still attatched and no knocking ::)

Murph

Fitted new crank sensor today so she's up and running again, getting right poxed at the squeaky water pump though...   >:(

While I was out there I refitted the original stereo and wired in a bluetooth hands free kit.

As I had to transport two doors and tools to hang them, I left it at home and took her is300 estate. It's now full of saw dust.  ...and mine isn't, thanks to the genius who installed the LPG tank. What a clever chap he turned out to be, in the end. :)
