Funny you say that....one of the thigs that led me to this forum was discovering that it is currently in mondo mode, with all the bits in the boot....and is something i want to put right! Apparently previous owner claimed he removed them for better handling and MPG....to say he was a dubious...

unfortunatly Doc, yes it is...although has had the HG work done, which is something I guess!
