Phil, sorry for your problems but as per our email from yesterday, the issue is not on our end.
As you indicated, your old tablet works fine with our site, but your new one does not -that indicates a configuration error or setting on your new machine and not with our forum.

hi Derek.
I've tried everything, I would imagine that the site security is a lot tighter now I could be wrong, I have no issues with any other site.
I'm so glad I kept this older device as its seems to work just fine!

I thought the storm would have kept you out of the workshop Phil! I see what you mean about the coil springs!

The storm kept me out the workshop Phil as we had power outs over three days! Back in there now.
Moving on with the suspension units, the more I research the more detail I find .

Loving it all Phil! Did you have problems with paint runs in the original sand colour paint that required a lot of rubbing back? A bit more space in the workshop now the Rolls Royce AC has finally arrived here!
