Thanks Alan... The Ghost 'Passed' the MOT Inspection with out any dramas...
The MOT Inspector said: 'Every year the cars I check, get noticeably worse in their condition,
but this car seems to be looking better, as each year passes by!' He's right about that...

PROGRESS UPDATE... In addition to my 'To Do' list...

The Battery finally died, so I fitted a Brand NEW 600CCA Battery...
Also I finally replaced the Original Tape Deck, with a SONY CD Headunit...
This Unit also has the Bluetooth feature, so I can now take calls, whilst driving... :dance:

PROGRESS UPDATE...

I'm really happy with my 'NEW' SONY Stereo Head-unit...
The sound comes through really clear, and that's with the Standard speakers...

I finally purchased some NEW Rear Shocks, and will make a start on that within the next 7 years...
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/271018406238 ... 1439.l2649

My Rear Springs are from K-Mac at Rockdale on recommendation of Boris BMJ (Green V6) Cost $260
The 2 x KYB White Rear Shocks cost $240 Posted... So that's $500 spent, just on the Rear Suspension...

I'm keen to see how they will go, and how the ride will be, with the New Shocks and Springs fitted...

This will be interesting...

Code 16

CODE 16
A year later and it still comes on, but goes off once the car has warmed up... Weird!!! :think:
Perhaps time to replace the Knock Sensor, but is it the front or back one?
