Only a week to go folks!!!

And I have received confirmation that the air-con regassing procedure involves evacuating the entire system before refilling it. It will take approximately 1.5hrs for the entire process to be completed so it will involve "hooking" up the machine to the car and leaving it to work through the procedure itself. MRG normally recommend getting the A/C system "performance tested" a couple of weeks after the work has been done and also to get the lines looked over with a UV lamp as the dye takes some time to work its way around and does not always show any leaks immediately.

Looking forward to it!

Just as an additional word of warning, junction 14-18 of the M4 falls under the jurisdiction of Wiltshire & Swindon 'Safety Camera' Partnership, who are very "hot" in their pursuit of 'errant' motorists by setting up their "Scameras" at a number of locations along the motorway. Last year, a colleague received a NIP for allegedly doing 73mph along the M4 so please do be careful and watch your speed in the area.

That's harsh, it doesn't even allow for the 10% innacuracy of speedo rule, sounds like a cash raising scheme to me, I'll come down the A roads, it's safer

The 10% speedo rule is only above actual speed. It's not allowed to read lower. I'm not sure they'll get away with fining people for 73mph though.

EDIT: Odd, the forum software removes any amount of space after my %
