Quick update

The bulbs were both ok and after a quick fiddle they were both dodgy connections :/

They have been sorted though!

Anyway to the fuel leak! The two pipes to be changed were prepared...

and changed.

Unfortunately on trying to start it up there was a lot of petrol peeing out the back of the car!

On further inspection the diaphragm pipe had totally ruptured due to rust!

Not good!

It's possible that it was a small hole around this pipe that was leaking before and removing the old pipe ruptured the outer casing

Luckily I had a spare!

Still rusty as hell but no holes

Two very rusty nuts later (ooer) and were back in business!

Ready for the re-test next weekend and should pass with flying colours now

not had any updates for the last couple of weeks because i've been away on my jollies

the car performed very well except for a small oil leak (a litre a day

) found to be the oil pressure sender being loose

before we left the badge decided to make a run for it!

Good job i've got a debadged bonnet to go on

We got up there and had good food...

Good beer...

Good views (outside the cottage where we stayed)...

And good hills

The car got absolutely filthy as you can see...

Soon the body makeover will start

If anybody knows any good cheap bodyshops / aquaintances in the Notts area then please let me know

More updates soon

Cheers

Bill
