Hope it transpires to be something a lot more minor than what we're expecting. Fingers firmly crossed for you chap LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Too early for dibs on some of your Buck Blue doors?
Does that mean I've got to retract my gearbox dibs from his other thread?!!

Well it's in the yard of the garage, 65 miles & about an 80 minute drive. Will get up early and try and be there when it opens tomorrow morning.
Off to bed now, been a long and stressful day, and no idea what tomorrow will bring.
