Little update, Mr Mark Carter has been kind enough to relieve me of some cash in return for a front panel - I hope to pickup this week. I am going to start the process of recommissioning the engine this week to see if I can get it to run, the plan is: Drain oil and replace inc filter New spark plugs...

She has gone for MOT today.

Either a rear shoe has fallen apart or a bearing failed as it started to make a very nasty grumble from the back on the way to the garage :(

I am not expecting a pass first time as the last MOT was 7 years ago - lets see what the MOT man says she needs!

Fingers crossed
