Absolutely agree, 'L.S.'. Not only that, but as Alan knows exactly what has, and has not, been done to his car, he will be much better placed to plan and execute any work that may be required in future than if he 'entrusted' the Royal Barge to a garage. That, and the satisfaction of a job well done, in addition to any financial savings, rewards the effort involved in spades.

Regards, John.
