Hi Rolskii,

Thanks for offer, but mines done £100K and I fear If i get another "well used" rack then i could be back in the same boat again soon.

mines not leaking but its got quite alot of vertical play on one side, it bangs anoyingly and has knackered a tyre twice.

Well mine aint shagged like yr 1 dude by far ..... no leaks nor knocks but easier to get an overhaul on a removed/useable rack......
...you can take yrs out the car :lol: :lol: then take it to get overhauled(if its useable)

just my way of thinking .... good luck ... :lol:

Not sure on the time , but it was a good slice quicker than up. Supprisingly only 1.5 mpg worse than on the way up. crusing speed doesnt seem to affect the old fuel consumption anywhere near as much as accelerationg harder on the B roads.

I avoided the Colenel and Ronald as the misssus had a nice green thai curry waiting for me!

Let you know on Wednesday/Thursday how the car drives with the new rack in!

Hey thanks again Jack !
