Sorry I missed you Charles as I would have popped down - I had heard that someone called Charles was coming to have a look at an XM, but it didn't twig... :lol: :roll:

Not to worry Franklin. I was toxic with a cold anyway, so keep away from Patrick. I shall see you at Little Horwood.

Nice barn you have there by the way!

With air-con not working and abs issues I popped in to Ray Williams today and was suitably impressed. Ray Williams who has been running the eponymous firm for 40 years was a model of helpfulness as well as the owner of a CX, so I think I am in safe hands. Many thanks for the recommendation!

Glad to hear of a seemingly reputable specialist a stones throw away from me, may take mine to Forge for suspension diagnostics (getting bored of the harsh ride now!)

That's the first time I've heard of Berkshire being south west.

I'm actually in that tiny bit of Bucks between East Berkshire and Greater London, so I would struggle to think of a more apt description than South East!

I wonder if Malcolm thinks I meant South East London (which I didn't) rather than South East UK (which I did).
