Maybe we should check price and availability first?

Jim mentioned the price earlier (£325), which is way outside my price range, so I've opted to 'try' the cheaper option first... our sponsors.
Having said that, cold weather and an extremely short fuse at the moment won't see me go near the car with tools
Will add it to the 'To Do' list when the weather improves.
