Hi RL - try emailing at http://www.merrytiller.co.uk/ - seems to be the specialist in them.

Sorry to hear you've got problems with yours. Is your phone fixed yet?

Hi

Shaun what sort of job is it to change for a honda, re mountings and lining up the pulleys?

John, Thanks for the site, will have a look. The phone is working sometimes and not others, BT still looking into it, they say its a line fault, possibly underground, mind you we are a long way from the exchange. I think its the polar bears scratching themselves against the phone posts, stretching the line. The quality of the line is very poor, as you know not good at the best of time, will ring as soon as line quality improves.
