Yup, my CDT heart is still beating up here in the cold north east ...

I'm getting my Wedgewood prepared for putting back on the road soon, hopefully. New tyres and track rod ends fitted, calipers going in, but there's a bit of investigating going on about why the bonnet cable appears stiff.

Mines all over the place. Definitely need two steering bushes, I think front right wishbone, and the shocks I bought from ECP have never felt good enough.

I replaced the wishbone bushes, droplinks front and rear, antiroll bar bushes front and rear. I also bought my rear shocks from best of british on ebay. Check them out as they are the original delphi shocks.

Here is the link.

Raven Black just passed NCT with advisory for rear tyre.

Going to a wedding in Donegal this weekend.....might need snow shoes!

Otherwise oil change and checks keeps her up to speed.

Still look back when I park her......and not to check did I leave lights on!

I bought front struts+rear shocks and springs from Best of British back in...2010. They sent me ones for the 1.8 and didn't answer any emails or queries. Eventually initiated a paypal chargeback and got a refund. They never even asked me to send the shocks back!
