G'day Bob...  "shaken all the gremlins out of her ?"   I wish...  but we're slowly getting there..
I hadn't really noticed the headlight aiming... but will address that tomorrow.. Thanx..
I plan to get a new tank in the future & there's a new clutch coming..  *wink2*

(I checked out the poster too... 6 plastic zip ties is all thats holding it... 
Ohhh... & a couple of guard dogs.. )  >:D

Wozza,

If that was here in the State's there would be a giant uproar about cruelty to dinosaurs. Ringling Brothers has announced, after years of pressure, that they will stop having elephants in the circus in 2018. Glad my children got to see it as the classic it is. Sorry my grandchildren, should their be any, won't.

actually to my way of thinking Elephant are better off on a circus than a zoo, they being herd animals.
Saw an elephant in Edinburgh zoo last time I was there (many years ago), it was the only one as far as I could see, seem to me it was stressed just stood there rocking back and forth, however what do I know about Elephants, still a few wall of deaths around I believe (craftily back on subject - almost)

Most probably static discharges.
My advice is a pair of gloves (the type electrical engineers wear when working on live high tension lines) and an earth wire from your ankle to ground when you're on your pc Bob... *smile*
