I'm beginning to think that this project it too involved (for the time
being, at least) and too costly as well. Here in the UK it's difficult

power steering!

Thanks for your replies, but I'll give it a miss - 'til the kids have flown
the nest and I either convert the 7-seater to a camper, or trade it in for one!
