Yes, as I suspected, the gear wheel had lost its grip on the spindle. I've notched it all the way round with a hammer and chisel so hopefully that'll give it a little more purchase. All working OK now. As it's still light I shall go out and wash it in a few minutes when I've drunk my coffee.
 
Just refitted my centre rear seat on the CSW after replacing the wooden back support which had perished. Removed the rust and sprayed the frames with Hammerite, glad thats over.
 
Got the rest of the D2 bumper fittings back on, foglights, headlight washers etc etc.

MOT tomorrow at midday.

Fitted new uprated intercooler and aluminum radiator and some silicone hoses.

Walked into the garage to find the 90 was leaning over to the N/S/F corner yep you guessed it a flat tyre so bumped it up then removed all the 2a bits we bought last week and stored in the back of the 90 ( in the garage ) as the bench was full of crap from doing the 90's engine swap so bench cleared and recovered with new parts :D
 
Just got under the thing to bleed through new clutch fluid. The stuff that came out of the system was nasty, but no sign of leaks. I popped to the local motor factors for a piece of tubing which they assured me was correct, it wasn't. Anyhow, for the initiated, is there easier access to the bleed nipple as I could hardly get a spanner on the thing - Ed China makes it look easy, tw@.

Anyway, I have a good solid clutch pedal so I'm happy. Just got to fix the NS headlight which dips when main beam is selected this is as a result of some fog light wiring I removed from the engine bay.

Then an MOT.
 
It's my partner's birthday so we had a drive out to the east coast



Here's Skegness under a lowering sky


And a cute little tractor on the beach at Donna Nook



I was hoping to see seals, but there weren't any so I took a picture of the tractor instead.
 
Took the 110 for her Mot today, passed with advisories for 1 panhard rod bush and rear brake hose.
Picked up 2 new bushes (might as well once it's off and on the bench) as well as new nuts and bolts for both ends.
Got 3 new brake hoses because I can't see the front 2 lasting much longer as all 3 were replaced at the same time 12yrs ago and the system will need bleeding fully regardless.
£15.25p for 3 hoses, 2 bushes, 2 BIG bolts and 2 matched nuts.:D:D

Crazy value and congratulations on the MOT.

She's never failed since the rebuild 12yrs ago but I replaced everything nearly!
I've only replaced the bits above, most of the poly bushes, all 4 discs and pads, new tyres and rebuilt the callipers again in those 12yrs.
Oh and the 2 short brake pipes callipers to flexi , they were fine but I couldn't get them off without damaging them when removing the callipers for the 2nd rebuild. Used stainless pistons this time though so expect more than 10yrs service life this time :rolleyes:
 
I removed the inlet manifold, intercooler cleaned all of the sludge out with petrol and changed the manifold gasket. Changed my horn and fitted a steering guard. The old girl is purring like a kitten and I think I have fixed the worst oil leaks.... Bonus!
