Hi Tony B
thank you for your kind response
it seems our fuel tanks share the same fate, I’m actually hoping to order one next week from the clubs spare department , but thank you for your offer, I hope it works out
I thought I’d cured start/stop ignition problems but this morning after wrapping myself up for trip to coast car would start. Traced to batter to starter lead so aborted trip temporarily until lead replaced
looking forward to similar trips though over coming months and glad to see, on TOC website, that other members did mange to get out
best wishes TonyW
