Drove up the M1 to Westoning to pick up some parts for the MGF. Got a nice surprise and it's good to know that a 75 will fit the bumper, bonnet and wings in the back

Refitted turbo and exhaust, fitted new lower arm bushes, washed and cleaned inside and out, pulled bonnet pull and sklack

Instead of booking MOT on Monday, I'm going to have the whole fleet picked up by the scrap man, and I'm buying myself something reliable.

God I hate these damned things

Drove it full of people to Preston, collected some bits and crammed them in with said people, and drove home again. Now have a home full of KV6 cambelt kits.

Default Short pictorial

Remove Grill and ducting.









Completely skips over the hour and a bit clattering round the shed swearing a lot whilst trying to find some screws to fasten the new resistor to the mounting plate.

First time the slow speed has worked since I've had the car .

(and all without removing the bumper, and yes, if your hands are any bigger than mine don't try this).
