Long time...

Hey there,

Well, it sure has been a very long time since I last posted, but in terms of stuff done on the car not all that much has been missed. The only real news over this long period of time is (In chronological order) ;

Windscreen Leak:
After running sealer all round the windscreen to no avail, I called in the professionals who have now finally fixed the leak completely.

Spin on oil filter conversion: Very simple task, remove the old, put the new one on, and it really was that easy.

Dashboard Upgrade: I decided to upgrade my original dash to one that has a rev counter counter and individual gauges on. This all worked well and went fine, last thing left to do is wire in the hazard switch (Before the next MOT) and make the "Fasten Belts" light on a timer circuit......

Accelerator Cable: In continuation of a previous post, the accelerator once again began to play up, and after investigation this was because it had no half snapped. We removed this one and fitted a new one, only to find that the old one was way to short and had the wrong fixings...

New Alternator: I had to change the alternator as the old 15ACR one was failing to deliver enough power to power the electronics at night. The new 18 ACR one does the job without a problem.

Now that the weather is once again starting to improve, work and stuff will once again become more common and so posts will be more frequent.
