It was only a 28&quot; version, and didn&#39;t have the Dolby sound card or STB controller in it. It was however, in great condition and got me out of a mess. My Sky+ box had about 3% hard disk space left!<br />I rented a Transit from the local Ford garage and picked the Avant up the following day.<br />Thanks <img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/emotion-24.gif" alt="Left Hug" />Dave!<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
