thanks for that, maybe I'll get the car back this summer then!
Luckily the garage have two ramps and the guy takes lots of holidays (he used to drive steam trains for a living so is somewhat overdue for retirement).
He is only of those very rare people that can fix things rather than just replace them. After the problems I had with my other car (Jensen) and so called specialists he is just the ticket.
I am giving up running the regalia section for another car club so won't need my Volvo estate anymore - hopefully the Murena will be a daily driver - depending on how much nagging I get from my better half 9ever since being woken up by someone driving into the side of my old Murena she's never been that keen on them
