Doggy - I hope my post didn't come over wrong
Not been easy with broken keyboard lol
What I meant to say is if I'd of thought about it prior to my trip down A14 I would of enquired as to the possibility of swinging by and you doing a diagnostic on my car

Probably being silly but sometimes bothers me if I think I've not come over as being polite in these instances

Anyway pm received and will call you after work
Thanks
Dave
