I currently have it running with two external HD monitors, an iPad as an extra monitor, plus its internal monitor.

OK, sorted. Door seal stuck back with Duck Trim Repair Tape (which sadly they no longer make). Tyre inflator had a broken cable at the contact in the 12V plug. I dismantled the plug, cut the cable back, tinned and re-soldered both strands & reassembled. Works again. Result.

40 years ago, in a country far, far away (the UK), this was released. (This is my original copy, purchased at the time. It wasn’t released on CD until NOW 4, I believe. I should have bought the vinyl I know, but I couldn’t copy vinyl to cassette at the time.)
