Re: New Project
Bringing it to Cosford should it pass the MOT?
Congratulations John, your years of expertise do you proud..
Hasn't taken you too long to sort it out either, I do hope you'll be keeping hold of it seen as its a rare beauty?

Just got back from mot test....
Passed with advisories on front brake discs (penalty of being stood so long) and rear suspension upper link rods slight play.
Found a fault on the vacuum pipe fitting to the air filter box, pipe has been broken off but looked like it was still connected....showed up as a high lambda setting on emissions...I held it closed whilst the emission test was done
Aux belt is annoyingly noisy so i'll replace that!

Is anyone going to Cosford?
I will tax it on tuesday and let Sue use it for work next week to get it back into use.
Re: New Project
Woo hoo!! I think there are a few going.. 
Don't think I will be able to make it and I'm going to be really depressed if I miss seeing it

Yaaaaaay! She lives!
I still think we should put Cosford back a few weeks, it just too soon after Haynes. Having said that I'll probably make the effort whenever it is.

Re: New Project
Great news.
Can't promise I'll make to Cosford, but my vote would be for leaving it a while longer.

Re: New Project
Sonia, Saturdays are generally for rugby (or football in John's case), Sundays are for car club meets.
Sorry, we don't make the rules, it's the law.

Re: New Project
Great news!
Another executive with cream leather returns to the fold. (Not that I'm baised, you understand).
Well done John!
As it happens, I taxed mine from this morning too. £200 this year.
Guess your's wasn't a bargain either?
