Thank you - that’s really helpful.
Does your new one do the job well?
And was it a straightforward swap? Possible to manage without taking the dash off? |

| Thank you, Custom90; I heard it about 100m from the house, travelling at 20 mph, and had not run far but thank you for the tip; will check it out in the morning. |

Thank you for the recommendation with NFU; I have dropped them a line.
