Worked fine for me

Took it for an MOT this evening and it has passed with no advisories! I've got a few more jobs I want to do on it but it should be ready for use soon enough.

It is a very nice place to sit and the seat is very comfortable! A shame it isn't a saloon and manual otherwise it would be staying permanently!

Congrats on the pass Luke - i did say similar on the group but any response you made got lost in about 30 messages i haven't seen and were lost in the depths of the list!

The only roll i was on at the time was Andrex!

Joking aside, i was on the phone to EE as my landline seems to have lost incoming caller ID, fault at the exchange presumably as resetting it from my phone tells me it's on and working.

I've got a new pair of bilstein B4 dampers and some nearly new rear springs off a 98 940 I broke to go on the rear end as one of the nivomatics is sagging yet no oil on it weirdly. I've also got a fuel filter to try and sort out the whining fuel pumps, if that doesn't sort it then I'll get a new fuel pump or two for it.

I've had a set of virtually new Avon ZV7 tyres fitted in 205/60R15 flavour as my work were giving them away as the customer decided they wanted different tyres on their brand new car. Waste not want not especially when the rolling radius difference is negligible, the wider/lower profile tyre will improve handling and they were free as well as the fitting, balancing and new tyre valves.

Hopefully it will be ready to sell early next year as I've just had to fork out for a new boiler as mine is leaking in four places!

Ah well it is what it is, anyway Merry Christmas my fellow 7/900 series perverts.
