Nah, I've spent enough money on her the past few months. If she wants things fixed, she has to give a little back

Perhaps it's because she's not original and unmolested any more, no woman likes to be told she's been fiddled with, played with and ridden (or is that rode) hard.

Took it to the garage for a tune up as I'd been struggling to get the timing set properly, turns out so did the garage. New cam will be needed in the not to distant future.

Using Dopey's excellent guide :clap2:, I dropped the roof lining so I could get to the crossmembers in the roof. The sealant had gone hard and separated on a couple of them, causing a horrible vibration at tickover and over bumps. I squeezed some good stuff in with a mastic gun, removed a lot of redundant hands free wiring and fixed a couple of missing clips. Runs even quieter now!

The roof lining guide is in the "How To" section posted by Dopey.

O.K. it was yesterday but I picked up a new MOT.
Only advisories were a slight weep from a fairly new, metal impeller, water pump and a mention that the gearbox cooler pipes are weeping.
Well if that's all that he can find I'm a happy man.
Now for a thread on where can I find a decent gearbox cooler?

MrGorsky got one recently. Think he got it from Island.

Was it the first thing you checked when you got home?
Second thing, first thing was "Is it on its bump stops ?!?!"
Yea, it looks like there's not much choice these days so I'll be going for a Britpart from Island. I'm just checking that I get the O rings with it, or the pipes, before I order.

I changed my oil cooler pipes, not the gearbox cooler pipes, BUT the o rings did come with the new pipes.
Good thing too because they are a bit of a smaller size. My "generic" ones out of my box of o rings would have been too fat.

Piece of cake.
But I also changed the cooler. My cooler was fine, but my pipes were weeping, I changed both because of the stories I'd read on here about pipes welding themselves to the cooler.
Glad I did too, they were absolutely solid. I wrecked the old cooler experimenting with trying to get them off. It's not worth it. Your time is worth more than the price of the replacement cooler.
Gearbox pipes might be a bit more of a faff, because of where they connect to the gearbox. The oil cooler pipes connect at the front of the engine next to the oil filter, and are very easy to get at.
