Discovered the towbar-electrics tester I was lent doesn't work, as the lender predicted so tested electrics with meter and found all to be good.

The went for a spin to recharge the battery after all the shunting around for the MOT and discovered the handbrake's unadjusted itself a******gain. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just my car the brake fairies visit? Bolt's loctited and everything.
 
Thought I would give mine a good clean and polish, got as far as polishing half the bonnet and thought b__ger it; Its too cold. I shall wait for the spring.
 
Get my old girl back tomz after she broke down.

Looking forward to fitting new dampers & turrets on the front.

One thing i am puzzled about... my handbreak wore out so i bought replacement shoes, expander unit, and the 3 clips to hold the expander in place. Adjusted it so it is one notch back from biting. When I pull the handbreak it travel the full extension but doesn't even bite. Almost like the cable is miles too long.

I have adjusted the cable fully, wondering if i have missed something, or need a shorter cable, or need a different expander unit that has a shorter arm.

Anyone experienced this before?
 
Rung Adrian Flux to increase it's value from £3500 to £8000 agreed following spending £3000+ on new parts and 200 hours work!!

Very reasonable additional premium too.
