Ready For The Road Again!
Having done the head gasket and a few other bits, my regular 75T is now ready for the road again, and if the DVLA ever get it sorted out, I will be using their site to tax it. (troubles this evening)
Whatever happens, the project car is now SORN'd and off the road. |

I know it's the metallic in it, but what a difference when the sun gets on the BRG, amazing.

Finally given it a good test. Last Friday in the 25 degree heat went to my daughter's in Cinderford, Forest of Dean. M4 was chaos with crawling traffic for the first thirty miles and I thought that would really decide matters, no problems. Having returned late last night, I checked all this morning and no loss of coolant, and all good, I'm pleased.
Funny how often we get great encouragement and then a right slap in the face. |

Right, that "slap in the face", checked again as I didn't want to believe it, and found mayo in the rocker cover, dropping the oil later. Have withdrawn the 1.8 tourer that I had on eBay as I have to do another run to North Wales, and may have to use that..........Sugar!
