Some may not follow that one Tall Phil, but perhaps you intended it as a bit of an ice breaker? ;)

The low life love the old style steering wheel locks as they provide the extra leverage they need to break the steering column lock.

Thank you very much guys for the excellent ideas and suggestions. These are exactly the questions I have in my mind and clearly a structured approach, Col Lamb and AdrianG, is the best way to approach it.

Time I said hello I think. I put my deposit down on 6 February for an SD and since then I've been lingering around here hoovering up all the good stuff that's going on, but fearful of entering, as I can see how helpful all you folks are at 'massaging' the latest newbie's carefully crafted, but oh so...
