Again, thank you Clannad for all your work. It gives me more comfort in holding it off. I had hoped they would leave the diesels alone, but I am much happier now to "wait and see". Thanks again

Any Response from them? (I'm sure that you would have said if the had responded)

Ah... All instantly deleted

I've have quite a stab tonight have a look and add
