Hey, that's all right, at least I know where and what the thing is now, and your description is very helpful. And I know that the garage haven't just made it up -- even though I know what I'm looking for now, I still can't see it in this Haynes manual. I'll have a look for it in reality as soon as I have some spare time in daylight. It'd be nice to know for the next time where it is and what a worn one acts like...
