Got a couple of bits for fitment before I do the annual adjustments and then take her for an MOT in the next couple of weeks!


some Dzus fastners, that should stop the rattling from the top of the batter cover, FINALLY!!!

Correct cork type petrol cap seal, this will avoid the embarrasing difficulties of getting the petrol cap on and off at the moment, using my temporary MOT rubber alternative bodge.

So whats left
Adjust brakes all round
Adjust clutch, the biting point appears to have moved all the way to the bottom of the pedal, I imagine the stop on the clutch cover has moved in.
Gap spark plugs
Gap Points
Tappet clearance adjustment
Change the oil (it currently has universal tractor oil in at the moment - nice!)
Change oil Filter
Fit new copper washer to sump plug, try and get rid of that little leak

Clean her

Passed, but has picked up an electrical gremlin, so its stopped sparking, I think its a broken wire between the regulator and the coil power!

[DaveVader]

I love this moke, you've done some seriously great work on it.

[liirge]

Thank you very much!! Well I've been out and about in her today! didn't miss a heartbeat, notice that under breaking she likes to veer offside, but that just adds character!

Also got my free road tax, the only bargain left in motoring!

Went to Car Builder Solutions and picked up an outside car cover and some wire!

The car cover is £35 - Waterproof, 3 layered, breathable and fits quite well!

BARGAIN!
