Fair points, Steve. Ah yes, WD40, the saviour of many an ignition system!* (A friend recommended spraying a can of WD40 all over the engine bay** before each winter. Works a treat! It keeps all the hoses etc as well as the electrics in showroom condition).
* But not as good as the Australian versions: "Start you bastard!", and "For christ sake come on!". Have a look probably on youtube - you will laugh for days!
** do this with a cold engine, switched off, and don't spray the belts too much.
Yes, unfortunately, now that accountants are in charge of every industry, they have made scr*wing us, the public, an artform. Witness; making us pay through the nose for everything and anything they can think of........
