Car is back from the bodyshop so it should be a 100% going from me unless the truck breaks down again the night before. If it does, dare I say it I will come along in the otherhalvers Rav 4 just so I can meet a few of you.

Made good progress with the 22mm cradle bolts so I'm hopeful - 3/4" drive coming into it's own :D
