Many thanks to Pico and Merlin for this sad, sad news and to the kindness of the people present at the time of the accident. I'm told it was quick for which I am grateful.

I saw Peter the mechanic on Wednesday evening who filled me in on what happened.
Because of the time which has passed, I can only assume the body has been disposed of by now.

I'm sorry this reply was not sooner, I was waiting for my login/registration details to be processed which took a little time.

It is an amazing community network though thanks again to all concerned.

Valentina - much loved and sorely missed.
