Met Julian over the weekend and bought the 850R.
Been busy all today on the "clicking" door...and...Success!
Went with the 2 x self-tapper route and all now seems quiet.
Am selling the old S-Type Jaguar as we speak and have just insured and taxed the 850.
Looking forward to getting out and about over the weekend.
I will have loads of questions although I also own a Triumph Tr8 (7V8) and a couple of motorcycles so am "reasonably" handy on the repair front.
Oh yes and the name "Bonnietiler" is cos that's the job I used to do and the Motorcycle that I used to ride...not because I have a total eclipse of the heart or anything like that!
Cheers
Bonnietiler

I am Wobbly Dave after the fact that I have my "inspired" moments. Always good to know a good tiler. 850R was the 1st powerful Volvo I ever owned. Enjoy the ride

hehe I was wondering about the username, nice one
oh are we opening up about usernames.....mine is like it is cos I was new to ebay in 2004, and every username I typed was taken already....so in frustration I stabbed out the first thing that came into my head after my name (name is James but get called Jamesy due to Irish family)Last edited by jamesy12345; Friday 6th March 2015 at 15:57.
