No, no more news as yet.

I wish you hadn't written "improvements" - it implies a little scepticism, which they don't deserve.

Brilliant!

I'm impressed.

Hmmmm, yes, B****S*** filter.

How could such a thing work? That's a genuine question!

Thank you, Oyster. I am reliably informed that what I have is a mere snuffle, and if I were a woman I would just get on with it!

What I dread is this Australian variant. They're obviously cross with us for some sporting defeat or other...

Worthy of consideration, yes. Smoke blowing exercise, certainly not. There have been a number of suggestions on these two threads, as well as a few from PMs and telephone conversations. However, I for one am going nowhere, not even down the road to the pub, until I have shaken off this year's misera...

Interesting that it applies to all the models from the OJ right through to the LS etc., That's not a document I've seen before. I have seen that sectional drawing before, I'm sure i...
