Much appreciated if anybody can be bothered to reply..Thanks..

Sat in the sunshine and changed the brakes discs and pads on the wife's MGF .....

Worked on a fairly complex engine management system in the rain

After slackening the distributor pinch bolt with a 7/16 AF spanner, I removed the dissy and cleaned up the faces of the points with a diamond file, then reset the gap with a 15 thou searcher.

We now have a spark, but still no fuel, so off with the float chamber lid on the HS4 S.U., hmm bone dry, and sure enough there is no suction from the mechanical pump

Never mind he says, fills up the bowl with petrol, out with the choke and after a couple of seconds of winding over he's alive

Last started in 2002, so fourteen years of slumber comes to an end.......just the clutch to free off now, and the recommissioning can begin in earnest

Ah, looks like my dad's old 1800 super, JAY 558L... Wrong colour interior though, was near body colour I think. Happy days!
