Booked in for its MOT 10am tomorrow. I am shitting it. I've only had it round the block ! It ran as lumpy as fook, wouldn't run without choke or rev cleanly. Turned out to be valve clearances too tight ( they were miles out when I first did the engine work and I went a bit too far I think ) anyway it's running better, ticking over ok off choke and revving clean. Tomorrow has forecast the odd shower in the morning so I've covered my leather seat up with the old seat cover (bungee'd on) wish me luck Image and yes that is Astro turf ! Ha ha
