So yesterday the mechanic was a bit busy with my Connie:

- new sparks plugs NGK platinum (a pita job for the back ones)
- new pollen filter (compulsory to get it off to reach the back spark plugs)
- automatic gearbox fluid renewal with Texaco ATF 402 from the UK
- a comprehensive cleaning of the throttle body and both VIS motors (error P 1472 cancelled, but P 1477 remaining)

And I changed the air filter myself for a good K&N panel.

But more is to come:
- Duct assembly air cleaner/throttle body PHD103250 ordered at Rimmerbros
- Automatic lower rear engine mount ordered on Ebay
- Radiator NISSENS 64308A ordered
- 2 dampers TRW TRW JGM1325T and 2 TRW JGT306T ordered

And some other trifles regarding the recent MOT will be done as well.

Phew! It's nearly a restoration project!
The mechanic will be busy again at the end of next week.
