Location helps too. Gives us a better idea which direction to point you in. For example not much point in me offering parts if you are in Australia or Europe because I'm in the US. Most people on here are in the UK, but a few of us are out in the former colonies.

Baz restores Hippos professionally and has most parts 'in stock'. He's in Dudley, but Scotch is a proper Brummie.
Which bit of the UK are you in? We're spread all over the place - I'm in South Yorkshire.
