I did the bonnet release cable junction fix and silicone greased the moving parts. Much smoother.

Took it for the MOT - passed with no advisories - but only just, as the smoke test result was borderline (even with EGR bypass etc.). Probably just down to lack of any long journeys in the car recently, - just local pootling about - I should have given it a good thrash up the road before taking it in for the test.

Was the pcv filter a fat one or a slim one cause if it a fat one chances are it's the original one

Another 12 months MOT (2nd attempt)

Only down side was I had to fit new front brake pipes but all good now and peace of mind.

Was looking at chopping it in for another car but could not find one that I liked anywhere close

Hovered and polished inside mine today also removed radio to get code which lucky enough was on the back casing I got sounds now

Cleaned my 75, fixed the under tray which hadn't been cable-tied back in, and fitted a spare balance VIS, which seems better than the one that was on the car.
Interior smells less of clutch fluid, and more of leather, once again.
