Got his first wash of 2010 today.


And first in around 5 months.









And polished the metal parts too.


Final coat of paint on the spotlights aswell. So as soon as my 100w bulbs arrive I will fit them.



MOT is soon so will mean, reset balljoints, fit NO. plate light, fog light.

To get it through the last MOT I packed the radius arm full of grease. Don't think im going to be able to get away with it again.

Nope. No problems, front is illegal for obvious reason and the back one doesn't have a light.

No problems

Cheers matey!! It's getting a little rusty now, but it's back on track!

Just one or two things to sort out and it should be 100%.

In regards to MOTs', make sure your rear lights (esp the brake lights) are working...

The police in the local area have gone nuts - they'll pull you over and give you a producer (sounds reasonable until they then make your existing MOT void)

Just be careful.

Oh, thanks.


But my brake lights are fine.

Clean at last I see! Looking great again to be fair, but I'm not sure if the overriders suit the back, looks racier without them.

I thought it was a map of Africa

No plate lamp should be ok as long as it isn't showing light to the rear. Your harness anchors look a bit low.

Ummmmm, I don't have a number plate light.

The harness' mount to the rear seatbelt mounts in the back bulkhead.


It's around 45 degrees which is about the limit of what is accepted.

Yep, had them, their crap, couldn't solder on the wires as there so slim and kept snapping. Gave up with them in the end and I just stick on a generic NO. plate light for the mot and take it off afterwards.
