Just an update folks. Car has had handbrake cables done, timing belt with water pump and pulleys, thermostat, and rear control arms.

It is going for an MOT Tomorrow and will update. It is currently up in Inverness. Mileage is currently around 203500.

I am still having an issue with it running hot in traffic, still investigating, any help here welcome. Oil and water temp show ok but there is pressure building up in header tank, takes around 30 to 40 mins of siting to do this. Just drove 550 miles in one go and never missed a beat and never used a bit of oil or water, just siting confuses it.

Also looking for something else right now. Anyone got anything pre Feb 1986, this is one way around crazy tax laws in Ireland!!!!
