So after 6 months of owning the car, its finally back on the road.
Picked it up Friday afternoon from the workshop in the sunshine and headed down to marsh barton to get the tracking sorted out.
When it was up on the ramps, we noticed the cv was possibly going to need replacing
Not ideal when its MOT was booked for the following day. Tracking was put right, as it was well out.
Then drove it to Exminster garage for fuel. Filled her to the brim, went in paid got out and drove off. A quick look in my rear view mirror however showed what looked like a rather large puddle had been left behind. Pulled over to see a fair bit of fuel leaking from around the fuel pump.
So back to the workshop i went. After an hour or so playing around the leak was fixed and i was back on the open road.
Took a couple pictures that evening.
So on to today, decided to get the car MOT'd anyway to see what would need to be done to get her through, old one expires the middle of august so have a little bit of time to get it right.
Off to Mr. Craft.
Failed on 4 things.
1, Horn not working
2, Windscreen wiper working when it wants to, not when commanded to.
3, Rear fog light on the wrong side
4, The above shown CV joint.
So all in all pretty pleased with that. Also need to order a few parts to sort out the gear linkage, finding reverse can sometimes (always) be a struggle.
Got some more pictures in the woods on my way home.
Took it home and gave it a wash ready for Devon dub fest tomorrow.
So yeah there we have it guys. Its loud, bumpy, and rattles like michael j fox, but im in love with all of it.
Got a few more things planned for it, but for the moment its just a case of getting it mot ready and enjoying driving it.
Opinions good or bad really welcome.
not long now mate, were supposed to have some good weather next week too
Next time.
