Wordpress / Feedburner RSS Issue resolved

For a LONG time, no images have been appearing in the RSS feed for www.quirkycars.net. Now, it's not as simple as it looks, as the standard Wordpress RSS is redirected via a plugin called Feedsmith, to Feedburner.
So, either the images were being removed by feedburner, or they were not there in the output from the site.
So I disabled the plugin, and examined the output directly. No images. (http://www.quirkycars.net/feed). Damn.
Checked the Settings->Read options, correctly set to "Full Text". No option to block images.
After looking around on the web, I FOUND the problem: Change the RSS address to http://www.quirkycars.net/?feed=rss2 : The images ARE present in that one.
So, then: change the Feedburner RSS feed address to [websiteaddress]/?feed=rss2, and we are sorted. Don't forget to re-enable Feedsmith..
Sounds simple, but this has taken a LOT of detective work..

New Feedburner feeds

Created several new sub-feeds for www.quirkycars.net These are:
classic-mini
3-wheeler
muscle-cars

These are used to power my signatures on relevant forums. I've changed the link addresses to point direct to the relevant categories and tags. (This is how I found the wp-ebay-ads fault.)
