Doug, thanks for the reply - it made me smile!
Actually, this garage I went to was the same one I mentioned a while ago on a
thread about finding garages that will work on our cars - last year, when I was
adjusting my door latches, I simply could not loosen one of the screws in the
striker. I took it to this garage, and after around 1/2 hour of attacking the
screw with all kinds of wierd contraptions, they finally got it to budge. They
then refused to take any money from me - "We're not going to charge you for
loosening one screw." "But it took half an hour! At least let me give you some
cash for a beer or something." I think they just like the car...
Anyway, thanks to Barry, Bill, Fred and Joe, as well as Doug. The replies seem
to suggest that I have a rubber pad or bush worn or missing - possibly fallen
out while the bracket was loose. At least I know that car's not going to fall
apart! I will check this at the weekend, assuming it stops raining.
Cheers,
Dean

Your local garages actually fabricate things? How quaint!

your spring.
