Thanks greyhair,
It was a daunting task, and I should have scrapped it, but buying another one would have probably been just as bad. The motor/mechanics are all good, as I've got a shed load of receipts from the previous owner.......anything wrong and they took it straight to the garage, so hopefully I'll have no problems there.!!
I know the n/s front is almost as bad , but I know what I'm doing now, and hopefully it won't take as long to do next year.
.......... Then there's the rear to look at, leaky sunroofs ......lol
