"Good news Mark and I think you owe Spanner a beer for that one ;)"

Shouldn't Mark make that a 6-pack?

Yep - nice easy result Andy. Damned annoyed that the adrenalin rushed to my useless parts instead of my brain on Monday, else I would have sussed this out on the site.
AND.....the cause?  Loose bullet connector in the bucket!
Yes - Given our geographic problem Spanner - I will have a beer with your name on it this evening. Cheers "Mate".
Regards
Mark

Well done, gentlemen, with a nod and a tip-off-the-glass to Spanner!

I think you owe your son a beer as well Mark, for coming to collect you! ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
