I am sure you will be in good hands with Life's looking after things for you, I bought my '88 4/4 from them in 2009 fully intending to use them for routine stuff, but accidentally found Tudor motor bodies in Market Drayton when my fuel lines sprung a leak, whilst they were both close by (I was in shropshire at the time) and extremely helpful and efficient I never did go back to Life's. Tudors are not a main agent, but have a long history when it comes to morgan mending
