Glad it was a straight forward and cheap fix for you.

Thanks ! Cheap except for the flights :D  I'm a capitalist though so I hold no ill-feeling towards Norwegian for stiffing me there though.

All is behaving well and I'm beginning to forgive the car...  I have used it for a few transporting jobs and my Leaf is in for a bit of body repairs so I'll be commuting in it all week.

edit: Oh and it passed the MOT a couple of weeks go.  The handbrake mechanism was a little jammed/sticky one side but they fiddled with it and it freed up ok.  The dipped beam HID conversion (which I replaced from an older kit which was falling apart) were apparently absolutely fine.

And I just dug out some pics from my phone!
