New battery fitted, fresh fuel inserted - she lives again!



Alternator is a bit grindy sounding, but otherwise it seems fine. No leaks, temperature rises properly (I fully expected the thermostat to be stuck), only light not working is one of the front fogs and an indicator which was giving me issues before anyway.

Hopefully change the oil after work tomorrow, and get the tyre valves changed if I can find the new ones.

Spending money on expensive things that I don't really need because why not

I need to find the new manifold studs that I bought, it's bugging me that I seem to have lost them in the move

That's the one, took them about a month to despatch but totally worth the wait, the quality is excellent.

 

[blu73]

Gotta say I am tempted just in case I buy a cento again lol.

 

[henseyseries3]

Shame they don't do them for an mpi becuase I quite fancy a set unless I'm being stupid and the pipe works all the same

 

[blu73]

its been 9 months Frazer... I bet them hoses are still in the box aren't they..

 

[Eklipze3k]

Yes...

But I has plans!!

The road is being dug up at the moment, so Lucy's car is in the garage while mine is in front. As soon as the road is open again and Lucy can park on it, I'm moving TB4 into the garage (after a good wash!!!) getting her up on axle stands and will start prodding at her every weekend when I get a chance

 

[blu73]

believe it when i see it :nerner:

if i am not hugely busy in July maybe i can stay up the week between the 2 weddings and help, although no promises lol

 

[Eklipze3k]

It could be a plan I'm hoping to have most things done by the summer tho tbh, just dependent on whether Pete comes back any time soon to make up that exhaust section, that's basically the only thing stopping me getting him MOTd.
