LOL, I forgot that wheelnut (or bolt) covers existed The last time I saw something like that, they were round, black plastic, and fitted to the wheelnuts on my Austin Princess!

Fog lights old and yellow - I think you know why - maybe make them deliberately yellow by fitting 'all weather' bulbs! or... it's time for... R... Re...

I think we established that the fog lights have a relay in the fusebox, but that's a long way from the lights themselves... check what voltage you're getting at the lamps. The brown and black wires to each lamp have a distinctly ordinary spade connector pair that's probably quite corroded by now. I'm sure you'll be able to make improvements.

I've taken the glass lenses off mine, cleaned them, and refitted with grey silicone sealant (or maybe grey polyurethane sealant, I can't remember). Cleaning brightens them a lot.

so after the thrashing at mallory, was time to sort some bits out....

drained out all the oil, and boy was it bad like water and totally black, smelt rank too:yuck:
new oil filter, which is a real cock to spin the last turn off, and first turn on:bang:
new plugs, the oldies were in suprisingly good shape, but i figure why not whilst i'm here...
clean out the cone filter, leaves....sheesh
rad flush, again since it's a clean out of the engines innards....
tighten up slightly loose throttle cable, the little one above the plenum
and..........a little more bling to go with the biz....

purely for the looks against the wider holed tipo alloys

she's all cleaned too, just need to properly get the alloys wiped off, and ready to show off next week!
