Is that a coal fired car you have got David? Looks more like that’s been round the clock a few times. Good for mpg tho..

Discovered my back brakes were sticking on so took it to a local tyre place. One caliper new discs and pads later car was ready to go. Expensive morning but stopping so much better and hand brake holds on second notch. Gave it a good clean inside and out to celebrate as there's a local meet tomorrow.

Are you sure that’s not a carbon filter? Seems as though that car has really been neglected David. Have you changed the oil yet? If you haven’t, you may find you have to dig it out. .

I have the rear brake backplates to change Dave, I'm quite looking forward to that.
Don't forget tho, she was a much loved car, I'd hate to see a neglected one.
By the time I've finished she'll be a new car.

I am finally getting some more done on re-assembly of my ZT-T.

Refilling gearbox today but hit a snag as oil is pouring out where the osf driveshaft goes into the diff/gearbox. I am guessing the shaft isn't far enough in, bit cannot find anywhere to apply force to push it further in.

I am going to do a search and if I can't find any tips, post a Q in the tech section.

Great isn’t it how some people’s ‘love’, is another persons neglect.I am sure it will get the proper attention from yourself to make it into a great car. Trying to get on with mine but the weather and other things holding me up at the moment.
