Thanks for your responses everyone. That's good advice Andy. and may be my top option.
Thanks Paul, Terry is my goto 'dealer' in these parts and I'll be there first thing tomorrow.
Rich, BHM 'sold' me the car, and if Keith was still on hand they'd be my hotline- I must get down and see them when I'm next in Kent.
Jon, that's also a worthy call, even if just to find out what does happen to them; not that I imagine it's a high turnover for them?
I'll keep you posted. hopefully I won't be directionless for too long! At least the MOT was all good otherwise.
