I took mine to Bill Rutter in Bedford for the cam belt change. Great service, they were recommended to me by a good friend, who has used them for decades.

well done in getting it to fit with the bumper on. I may put a black rubber band or strap around the receiver cover, just in case! £20 for a small bit of plastic  |

| Might be worth rubbing some silicone grease onto the seals, stops the rubber getting stuck to the car, which maybe why it came off? Worth putting some grease into the runner rails anyway. Hope you get ... |
