Actual lol, first time I jump back onto the forum for a long while to have a scour for a few bits and pieces and lo and behold, this old classic is at the top :')
Best of luck to anyone still bumping it. For anyone wondering, I can't even remember what car this was but doubtless it got sorted, one way or another, in the end.
I'm pleased to have provided some entertainment for the unwashed masses. Happy trails!
