Just to add that I'm probably not going anywhere much in the near future until the Silverstone Classic in July.

I may be able to help if no rush. We go to Sheffield a fair bit to visit the mother-in-law and occasionally bump into Andrew at events. I'll check with Mrs Peach what the plan
Is when the drunken lush gets in from the pub!
I will also be at Silverstone, but not convinced two wheels will fit in my mates Esprit!
