What a result!

Spent the weekend with my mate Russ, getting the car sorted out, and finally got her all together and started up!

Thanks to all for the great advice, and I have to say, things are looking good initially! - Have to run her in for a slooooooow 300 miles... sigh... BUT, hopefully by Sunday, she'll be at her best! - MOT on Thursday, hopefully taxed on Friday!

Sounds great still, apart from an earlier intermittent missing problem ( after 18 months, she fired up first time! - no missing etc! ...until I took her for a little test drive to ensure that the turbo was working fine (was looking for ANY boost, and all was good...)... Could be due to the old battery being a bit tired/old, but checked the voltage when running - 13.5 - 14.07v, so seems okay, Russ cleaned the plugs, tested compression, etc... ...and eventually she just started running happily on all four... result!

New clutch from Competition Clutch feels good so far (Of course, I won't be able to vouch for the power transmitting capabilities until I've done my bedding in miles..)...

Will keep you guys informed, and see you all soon methinks...
