Touch the other 3 units which still work? You must be kidding. And the solution would be typical: add a few kilograms of weight to the car (tire +glue), make that wheel wobbly (the glue won't be spread evenly and who would care about balancing a fix like this) so the ride will be bumpy, never mind the vibrations might pull the whole thing apart and kill someone - "on very rare occasions".... :). > ..... > > I still have that code (I have *everything* I've ever designed/written) Me too - almost. I lost a little of my earliest work (a few floppies) but I have never needed that. Dimiter
