Well graham what about that, it's a small world. Pity your not visiting the area anymore. Yeah the catch button breaking was a nasty shock, I blame it on the weetabix. The thing is I'd had it open once to check the fluids etc, it wasn't easy then but managed it. The worry is that after Mat (at Lifes motors) has mended the button will the catch be has difficult to open, will I have the same problem! Hopefully he'll have had experience with them, and maybe, like you said it just requires a bit of grease
