I sometimes miss the auto for times like that, but when you fancy a run up the north coast and get to the twisty roads the auto is crap.
Have you looked up anybody here who can inspect/refurb the auto?

Requires

I won't be disappearing. Only advertising on here so hopefully if it goes anywhere it will be in the community.
Will know next week if selling is necessary.
Thanks
