Kersqueeble! When I moved last year I found an RK05 (drive) that I had forgotten about, but that was about it. No really large machines came out of the woodwork. A tip for anyone moving in the UK. Do as much as you can yourself. I had the misfortune to use a removal company who assured me they could move the stuff and would handle it properly. Result : a heck of a lot of damage that will take years to put right, parts will have to be made from scratch, etc. And absolutely no way to get a penny out of them -tony
