I would be interested to know if there are any mechanics in Wiltshire as I visit Devizes and have wondered what would I do if I had a problem there. Corin is quite a long drive and not always available.

Next to do will be to check the MAF
If you want to pop down to Andover I could give you some advise or help with odds and ends, if nothing else go for a drive in mine and see how it compares. No specialist at all, but all the tools one could need, and plenty of drive to work in.

Thanks Craig, that's very kind of you. I will most likely take you up on that at some point but my first journey will have to be to sort the crankcase pulley as it's a hell of a racket.
