    Jeez, couldn't find the fillet tool. Did it with a teaspoon, one handle width at a time. I won't be able to type tomorrow!

What grommet can I use for the door wiring? Someone mentioned using MK1 or MK2 Golf door grommets recently but I can't find that mention now

    I got mine on Ebay from someone who was breaking a metro. I just asked if they still had them and they did.

Still can't believe how much the brakes have improved since taking the FAM7821 out of the system.

Must stop buying AF470 headgaskets. I haven't used one in 10,000 miles but realised when I put the latest one away that I've got 6 in stock now!

After a major drama with the +40 rebore going through the cylinder wall and some emergency 'rectification' the engine has finally gone to the engine man for the rebuild. Phew!

    No Tommy, not liners, got away with that one. Good old engineering (not me) and modern goo got me out of a pickle.
