My health is now putting a stop to my doing some of the more arduous jobs on the car, but I probably have work becoming due.....

My AC recently failed completely and I was aware the evaporator was shot, needing replacement, but now it seems to have lost all of its gas. So new evaporator fitted (at least) and a recharge.

I fully expect the outer sections of my brake pipes will fail its MOT a couple of months from now, just the last bits out to the wheels, the rest are as new.

I do have some facilities at home and I'm happy to give a hand, but....

I think I am nearest to BigRuss for the jobs, but don't know if he can tackle these jobs, I have only had him do my '160 ECU' mod.

Anyone know, or can make alternative suggestions please? I'm wary of local garages touching my pride and joy. If Jules were nearer to me, I suppose I could take a trip over to him with the caravan to stay in for a night whilst I was off the road with the work, if he had space at his place - just thinking aloud.
