OK I've been talking to the missus and we have decided to put it on Ebay for spares and repairs. I will put it up at £800 or nearest offer and see if I get any bites. Unless any of you has a TD4 and wants this for spares. Thanks for your help guys. sorry I chickened out and am not up for...

I'm in Mapperley area :-)
