Very nice, I would love if my wheels / lower side areas were as clean and tidy looking as that  |

Well she went for an mot Monday just gone, she failed on a loose passenger seat, a small hole in the floor, and emissons.
I've since secured the seat properly, tuned the engine , and completed the welding, retest on Monday.
I gave her a really good going over and a tune up, i started by removing and cleaning the air filter, as shes been stood for two years in my garage, i let her idle for a long time to burn off as much of the stale petrol as possible, chucked in a can full of fresh motion lotion, cleaned and gapped the plugs, reset the idle speed, reset the dwell angle, checked and reset the ignition timing, then when i was sure all was spot on reset the CO to 1.5% at idle, then rechecked the idle, and checked the gas tester Calibration. I should of done all this before the mot, as now she sits there burbling away like a dream, with not a hint of smoke, fingers crossed for Monday. |

I've finally get her through an mot, just a few more jobs to do before i tax her at the end of the month. Got a bargain off ebay the other day, a remanufactured clutch kit for £24.00 plus £10.00 postage, not going to fit it just yet, although the pedal does bite high, i will drive it for a while and see if it really needs replaceing or just a little adjustment, if our hills in North Devon dont test it, nothing will. I'm going to make a start on the valve clearences first as they are i little noisey, and then i might do the cam belt as i have no history on when it was last changed.  |

Hi,
Nice to be back. I do Like the idea of a sticker. Would it be possible to include Supercarry as well as rascal on there?
Regards,
Jeff |

Unsure why you posted here   , but it will be a image of the van/pick-up/bambi.... I should be able to post up examples of the finished stickers once I get the website address & confirm this with one of our friendly members that is helping us out with this  |
