A bit of an etiquette-failure here, I'm afraid - I posted a query in the Tech section without introducing myself first! Apologies for that, and thanks for the replies!

So, something about my car, if anybody cares: I bought my '92 from a dealer near Reading in 1998, an ex-company car which had been traded in. I had promised myself one at the 1992 Motor Show but had to wait a bit! I love it to bits - which is lucky as the transmission needed a good going-through (surprise!) in 2000. As I was sort-of living in Germany and it wasn't, it has spent abouit 4 years either in the workshop or my Ma-in-Law's garage until, back in Blighty again, I was able at last to resurrect it in January of this year. It is my daily driver once more (aaahhhhh).

I'm intriqued by the apparent Devon connection in this region; although I now live in Surrey (Addlestone) I'm originally from Exeter. Is that weird or am I imagining things? (I shall have to consult that pink scaly item that's walking down the wall.)
