1999?

Manchester is too far for me but as Data says there may be someone on the LZIR map. @mozz smith is in Stockport and a bit of a king at starting these without diag. And @tarphenry is just north of Manchester.

I changed my rusty bolts for some pan head pozi drives in stainless that I had lying around.
I'm buggered if it happens to me.
Keep meaning to put some slots in the grill tabs and 'just' nip up the screws so I can at least get the grill off it it happens.
