Congratulations, you have done  a sterling job on your gearbox change etc my wife does not even like looking at the car let alone work on it (mind you she is French).

I must be getting soft in my old age, it's far too cold to work on the car this time of year despite the luxury of a garage.

What I have got though is a spare tool for changing the fuel filter that you are welcome to have (my dad got me one not realising that I had already bought on the same day).  It is a fiddly job on the estate and you are in danger of a face full of petrol -I nearly blinded myself last time I did it.

I am in Bognor which is not far from Gosport so let me know if you want it (give me an email).
