Been catching up with a few jobs recently:
- During refitting the steering rack, I caused an oil leak by snagging one of the tie wraps securing the end of the main gator. Rather annoying because it was smelly (dripping oil on a hot exhaust) and messy to clean up. A new tie wrap is in place and its now holding an appropriate amount of oil.
- Guy (@SanRemo78) kindly supplied me with a selection of his surplus Siem headlights that were all better than the ones I'd been using. Lights are now in with good/new plastic fittings and I'm thinking about restoration options for the reflectors of the lights I've removed. Some good advice from Peter (@peteracs) so far, thank you.
- Took the Coupe to Automark in Stokesley today for a rear wheel bearing, oil filter and fresh fill of 10w60 fully synthetic engine oil. Mark always has a reassuringly careful general look over the car too.
Then a lovely drive home this evening, and it's feeling in great fettle. Over 200Nm torque is always going to be fun, but the brakes and suspension are spot on this year; on a quiet but fast B road, I was grinning from ear to ear!
