I think we all need to see some photos of The Beast of Bodmin don't we? After all

Opalescent Golden Sand to be exact.
November ‘61 build, chassis #175. Starting reassembly this week after engine out for lower timing chain tensioner fail. Subsequent painting, detailing and front suspension rebuild.
Sorry, a bit off topic.

A bit of preventative maintenance on the DISA-
X8R upgrade kit fitted
Simple job but another peace of mind one- and the pin in the old one was 'ok' but not 'safe!

MOT passed today, one advisory (brake pipe under passenger seat). Another little job to do soon.

It’s a bit crusty on the bend before it goes behind the plastic undercover, annoyingly the other pipe has been replaced. Why the PO didn’t do both at the same time!!!

Took my Zed to my trusted Indi BMW garage for Brake fluid & Coolant change. He gave it a health check whilst it was there. Couldn't fault it. He said it was in great shape and well cared for. 16 years old 76k and only failed one MOT in its life and that was the headlight aim.
Well chuffed.

Failed it's MOT. Knew about the snapped front spring - I supplied the garage with new ones to fit, but turns out my brake lines are not passable. I knew they were marginal but hoping they would be good until after the winter. Waiting to get a quote for the work; don't mind working on my own car but brake lines are a bit beyond my reach.
Good news is that everything else is good; just the lines need replacing, front and back

Did my brake pipes across rear axle last year bit fiddly but glad I did them they were rotten was well worth the effort.
Just finished renewing ccv valve & piping another fiddly job ticked off. Hopefully no oil smell in car now ( fingers crossed)

Noticed the right side back box had suddenly dropped an inch. On investigation, the two flange brackets have cracked. Which I gather is not that uncommon? Repair kit on order.

Hi Buzyg,
You were not on the road at 12:05 today on billacombe road?
Also do you have a link to the repair kit? My RH Exhaust looks lik it has rotated (Clockwise) a little.

Took the front off (to get to my headlights!)
LHS was misted and RHS had a damaged clip
Both done and ready to install tomorrow
In other news though, I was embarrassed with what I found at the front- its clearly had 2x frontals as the front bumper was 2006 (on a 2004 car) and thats been repaired...
The repair did a shocking job- one fog lamp was held on by black mastic. Once I'd removed the top 7 bolts the front just fell off and all sorts of bodgery in the wheel arches
Still- would rather know than not eh-
