gave it a wash ready for MOT

I think you might have used a bit too much polish, it looks like the paint and bonnet are getting a bit thin ;D

I changed the oil and filter, I also replaced the shift rod bushing/seal, what a pain.
I ajusted the valves, tightened the exhaust/intake manifold nuts/bolts again, seems like they are always loose.
I also re-did the throddle cable, what a joke that was, should have taken a photo of that, you would have laughed.
Took it for a drive.
