Oooh, that's posh! Round here, they just nick red diesel out of farmer's yard tanks

Luckily, 2 ex-army GSDs tend to put our travelling friends off at our place

next door neighbour used to be a police dog handler. Got one dog he couldn't trust so they shipped it off to the MOD ..... argument was if it bit someone while on the base who shouldn't be there ..... its their own blooming fault

Your joking, Do they not have a pin/ plunger, catch arrangement that when u press the button unlocks it? Surely forcing it open will damage it!
Take it back to jag... that way if they damage its their fault.
My dads had dealing with Jag with his cars you'd be supprised what they can check (they said they did) for free when ur blunt and articulate!!
