Well busy weekend last weekend, did the timing points and mixture, then changed the Oil (Used Halfords Classic Car Oil) and Oil filter, then changed coolant and flushed radiator.

MOT was yesterday

and it failed :( (but only on one of the rear brakes and an advisory on one of the wiper blades starting to smear in one direction) I had changed the cylinder seals but obviously the cylinder was too far gone and there was a slight leak by the time i had driven the 2 miles to the test station.

2 new cylinders on order from Rimmers then re test,

on the up side all my work on the bushes and Welding etc all passed muster with flying colour, in fact i even go compliments about the soundness of the car and the good welding.

so all being well, parts arrive Monday I will fit them Monday night (then off to Chesterfiled for work Tuesday Wednesday) and re test Thursday.

Apply for Tax disc and driving it around before the end of the month.
