MOT 2015

Oh yes! That's two years in a row with no advisories either. Obviously the buggered LH suspension gaiter, hole in the floor and blown main beam dashboard bulb don't count as a failure?!

Hurrah!

1000 miles in 3 years?!

Pershore Plum Festival 2015


Via Hallow or duel carriageway?
I desperately need to change the gearbox oil before the Pershore Plum Festival show on Bank Holiday Monday. 

It is a long way after all!


Engine Bay Tidy


'Tother day I decided to have a look how hard it might be to clean up my engine bay. Not easy with the engine still there, but I am going to have a go. 

I started off with a rag and some water and found the original Persian Aqua colour! It looks much better clean.



But, I spy a hole in the inner fitch panel. Yikes!

Rust on a fitch panel on a TR7?

Boot Lock

I have a boot lock that was liberated afore the death of MNX500V

It has a key too, which is why I want to change the one on the Beast. 

How the chuff to you get at it?
