This big enough? And the results, mixed but mostly good! first up, rust, this is on the passenger side rail, rear shock in picture (the still working shock!) bottom of the spring mount on this side (the big pad attached to the transmission) is delaminating, but resonably solid). bump...

have you checked the wiring to the alternator is okay first? I've seen some very strange alternator wiring faults occur on French cars that give the symptoms you describe! Best one i've seen, the alternator light had been wired into the same system as the stop solenoid as part of an alarm...

just as soon as the weather warms back up and or thursday i'll be looking to get some ringing in my ears :D In the mean time i stopped in at LR in liverpool who reckoned £290 all in to do both sides, and about 4 hours work, so not too bad at all, but the mechanic reckons he did one last...

My god your well travelled! I'm in Liverpool, but out on the family run tomorrow. Theres also a series defender at work which was basically taken out to a field and shot, left for god knows how long to rot and die, not many useful spares if any but makes for stunning pictures, will get them...
