Thanks Simon. It actually looks like a recently-replaced rear bush so there may be issues with that. I need a swan's neck though to make it move and look for movement at the same time! Which brings me on to......

That's a great offer Ian, thank you. If you have a ramp (or even if you don't), I'd appreciate if I could pop over to you. We should be able to diagnose stuff properly. I'll PM you.

(Thought you meant an actual ramp i.e. 4-poster!! So excited for a minute! Wishful thinking )

Dougie.
