I know John at Gumtree. Top outfit. They did a load of welding on my Classic a while back..

Thank you. It has gone to Gumtree sooner than anticipated as I hadn't checked the oil since I collected the car a couple of days ago because I kept parking on slopes (my driveway for example). The first flat surface I parked on was my parking space at work today and... it was overfilled.

PS the above has not allayed the paranoia... |

It only takes a few millilitres to send it to overfill. Check it when cold and hot.

Thank you. And yes, the Draper is the one I have gone for.

Welcome to the club Matt! I'm also a fairly recent owner (2 weeks or so) of a 4.4 TDV8 on a 2010 plate ![]() Very jealous of that first owner, what an amazing person to have owned it! |

Thank you. Is it still easy to find a specialist in Spain? |

No issues so far - but they have only done an oil change as there was no point taking a bit out when it wanted it changed anyway. They did run the codes too but didn't raise anything in particular. The inspection and the other bits of service are all being done next week.

I'm pleased to say the only issue the car will need to return to Gumtree to address is for the rear suspension knuckles to be replaced.

Good to hear. Get some decent knuckles put on and not ones made of cheese |

Definitely going for quality knuckles. I just tried to find the invoice for the current ones in the history to see what they were but it doesn't seem to be there which makes me suspect they were the cheapest of the cheap.
