Just out of interest what happened with this saga in the end?

Sorry to hear about all this mate, you must be gutted. Hope it works out HPI clear for you! Yeah, and make sure you use Brembos for maximum effect!

It's a lot cheaper to buy a new HD...

£5700 for a 182 in that condition with only 36k on the clock? I saw a Cat D for that price a few weeks ago... I would wonder at why it was so cheap. Unusually cheap. Did you have it HPI'd?

What made you rapidly go back to XP?
