Tell em that's bollox, print off the instructions X5Sport has linked to and gell them to follow that or pay for your guy (Jason, if he's near you) to come out.

They're taking the pi$$ and clutching at straws now.

Is this something you wanted to send as a PM to Jason or so?

I suggest you select the PM button instead to send this rather than a post. Perhaps you can post when you have done that so I can delete the thread.

Read a few posts back the blue highlighted and underlined link on X5Sport's post.

And you didn't send that as a PM.

Call him instead, I've posted two links to his contact details over the last few days. Phone is better.  ;)

No probs but you already have a thread running on this topic, no need really.

But understand you are seriously stressed at the mo.  :)

Instruct them not to do anymore work and clarify where they stand with the bill, so far. That may help you relax a bit.

Then give them the instructions and explain that you are trying to help not patronise.
