All very valid points of views guys, thank you.

I guess it's the same old story isn't it, do something well and slowly gain a good reputation for years of work, then (as is with life and the odds game!), something goes wrong through no fault of the tuner (just law of the sod!) and that gets around like wild fire and is forever brought up.

I think your right chaps, I've spoken to many tuners at length now, but I guess in the NY it's time to go and sit down and have a cuppa with these guts and see what my gut tells me.

Both clearly very capable in their own rights, guess I'll just see which one tickles my pickle after a chat and full quote...

Thanks again guys! Merry Christmas again too!!
