Dave - so sorry I totally forgot about this topic, having got so tied up with my 77k lately and have not checked back here!
If the offer still stands that is very kind of you and I will do the charity thing and PM you!
Back to the power thing - having now shot the Meteor a fair bit it has dropped right off again so I really think the spring is toast - I have a WTD out for a Meteor spring as I want to try modding it and would rather do this on a cheaper spring if possible.
