So, there are a few other problems to attend to.
I have a new light switch (thank you Bruce) and windscreen washer to replace the non-original ones.
I have removed the "Betsy" sun strip from the windscreen.
The inner frame of the bonnet has become detached from the bonnet skin, so it wobbles about when I open it. I intend to degrease and wire brush around the frame and bond it with Sikaflex, which will hopefully solve this.
The oil is obviously draining out of the filter, so the engine knocks for a few seconds on start up.
The throttle mechanism needs to be adjusted. Currently nothing happens for the first inch of movement on the pedal. This along with the clutch issue, below makes smooth driving difficult!!
The clutch pedal needs to be on the floor to get it into gear. I tried adjusting the clutch today, but that doesn't appear to have made any difference. I took the lid off the master cylinder reservoir and it was a little rusty around the cap. The fluid is quite dark, so I think before I do anything more I should change the seals in both the master and slave cylinder.
Today's question: Where would you recommend I buy the seals from?
