I'd have been happy paying for it to be fixed, in fact I did pay it. As a lay person I just wanted opinion on the estimate and whether or not he had diagnosed it correctly. Never thought that this would have generated so much interest. I have a strong feelingn that I shall just have to cut...

I'm near Lytham as it happens.

Sorry just to update my previous post he did mention the air pressure switch. Ben
