  Hello again!
  Good news, everyone, i was 3rd time in a service today (not seeing your answer, Michael, though..) and we somehow get toms fixed..
  Guy, who doing it was so tired - so he don't want to deal with it anymore, saying like "do what you want with this crap, drunk british made somewhere in the garage!!"... :(
  So, thank so much for the suggestions, Michael, i will contact you shortly by email, ok?

  All the best, and thanks for keeping hexagonal community alive!!
