Re: Suspention problem in Portugal

:idea Well I think DearJohn might have a point there, maybe it's dried out in all this heat, I'm just in the bar now moistening my lips, I'll have to do the same for the van in the morning :lol: I have a trusty can of WD with me, wouldn't travel without it really.

thanks
