Cheers Wicky, your very kind! My reg/rec should turn up tomorrow so, I'll pop it on as soon as. I've come to the decision, I'm going to pull my front cct out again!

Lloydies engine is abused a bit like Virt's butt!! (:-}) Fixed your mistake :sick: :lol: Sent from my GT-I9505 :lol: :lol: :lol: Today, I completed the stopper mod after a week of worrying about potentially reducing my engine to nano-particles by screwing something up, hey ho, I managed it in 2.5hr...

Brilliant!
