Thanks Richard et al.
A quick update on my trial of ultrasonic cleaner - it does work but I'm not all that impressed with the result, even after running it for around 24 hours, so it's not the "holy grail"
Perhaps a different cleaning solution will give better results.

I've just noticed that my content count (number of my posts) is now only 247 where on the old forum it was nearly 700. Has anyone else had the same happen to them?

I don't see any additional info but if the gun comes with the carrier then they are going to have to make sure it is to the new EU standard or they could be in deep do do.
For more photos and the full description just click on the image of the carrier or text.

Below is the update that Rita has sent out to all the people who signed the petition. If you haven't signed (18,618 have) please see the 2 BBC news reports on www.downe-kent.org.uk and I hope that this will encourage a few more to sign then perhaps the chapel will be saved.
The last time I updated you we hoped for 15,000 signatures prior to presenting our Petition, but it now looks as if we are going to exceed 20,000. WOW - thank you all for your continuing efforts.
On Battle of Britain Day Friday 15th September, I, along with a group of Bromley residents, went to Westminster to deliver our Petition to three Secretaries of State and the Prime Minister.
However, the London Borough of Bromley continues to attempt to discredit our Petition, and they remain adamant that their plans will move forward. The gates of the Chapel are chained and contractors have been observed in the grounds. THE REMOVAL OF 26 TREES AND SHRUBS AND THE DEMOLITION OF THE VESTRY COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME, SO PLEASE DO ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF TO GET THIS HALTED.
To view the two BBC TV news reports please click here to go to the Downe Village Website where they can be accessed below the Orchard item: www.downe-kent.org.uk
The second report shows the Battle of Britain Service held on Sunday 17th September, after which members of the Choir left in tears, vowing never to sing again in the Chapel if the Vestry is demolished.
The Petition will remain open, come what may, so please keep forwarding it to all sympathetic contacts.

Thank you all,

Carb cleaner
It's quite aggressive stuff so don't get it near painted surfaces or rubber diaphragm/seals etc...
Failing that then throw it in a tub of Tol...
I've seen Amal carbs that have been cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner and they looked as clean inside and outside as new ones:-

What's the number for the Ferret Rescue Centre, anyone?
No rescue centres in Queensland because it is "IT IS ILLEGAL TO OWN A FERRET IN QUEENSLAND OR VISIT WITH ONE"
http://www.queenslandferrets.org.au/
I think that I may have confused four legged ferrets for four wheeled ones.

Neil,
Unless you have agreed with the insurance company's valuation already, you can negotiate for a higher value if you can't buy a similar aged and condition Range Rover for the money they are giving you.
From your post, it wasn't your fault, so your insurance company should claim back your excess from the other driver's insurance.
