I'm a firm believer in preventative maintenance too so I think that is sound thinking on your part! Please do let us know how you go after you have the job done and by whom - one for me to store in the info bank!

I'm Interlagos Blue (mid-blue) and usually around the city area but I will look out for you! I spotted another white E92 with ACT '33' plates earlier today - you are right, they are breeding locally!
