Well yesterday actually.... Took the 2.6 to Huntingdon to see Mr Serek who kindly repaired and re-gassed the aircon, changed the gear selector arm (different adjustment on the original so swapped them over - I can get the key out when it's in park now without wiggling the gear selector now!) and chatted about Omega's, BMW's and VAG's.
