Re: Are we in the right place?

Excellent. Eastern Counties it is then. We spend a fair amount of time in Norfolk anyway, mostly camping, but also the occasional day trip. M 80NGO, your post was absolutely priceless.

Are we in the right place?

Sediment light.

Evening folks. Been wondering what the sediment light means. Not in 15 years of driving have I owned a vehicle with a sediment light, and i've had few Jap imports in the past.
