Peter, well done, did the threads get tied up with the successful conclusion. :?: Always nice to round them up after the event, with a brief recap of what was done and how you did it even if it involves a bit of repetition of stuff put together in the throes of the job.

Neil,
the thread did get finished (i think) as it morphed into another thread (or hijacked) :rofl2:
looks like it's turning into a very useful thread though (equipment loan pool) =D>
On the MOT side there are a few more pipes that are minors, start with cleaning and then maybe replace. Something I plan on doing myself.
