That'll be an inguinal one, then? Hope that's a joke, otherwise hope it's sorted quickly!! When you change the pads Dave, it's traditional to use a jack...

Reminds me of the old joke back in XR3i days (nope I had a Golf GTI mk1) about why they are all called clitoris. Because they are all red and every ....... got one. I'll leave now. Robin
Or the Swiss company that called their car the "Growler" Don't google that if you are at work!!! :shock:

Thanks Stu/Nick/Rog. Referred for surgery so hope to get done very quickly. Got the road trip to plan for !

I don't remember hernia repair requiring a polisher - the sutures usually smooth out on their own... or... maybe your surgeon is East European? Hmm...

Get well soon, Dave. I had a unilateral inguinal done many years ago now, and it was fine. Just don't plan on doing too much too soon afterwards!

Had mine fixed a few years back at a clinic in Cambridge. They used a sort of expanded mesh similar to the stuff on Goodridge brake hoses. Easy fix if a tad expensive but at least I can stop quickly if somebody is about to walk into me. Robin

Don't forget to change the fluid every 2-3 years, Robin.

The expanded mesh is more like the stuff on motorway embankments to hold the soil together for trees - it gives a matrix for the weakened (herniated) muscle wall to stay in place.

I'll say hello to the Railton crew on the MSA Classic from you, tomorrow.
