Finally took the Roadster ( now known as Fifi la Fume) out for a run after a few months of winter maintenance and upgrades including an alloy radiator. A lovely bright spring morning, so down the A358 down to Minehead, stopped for a coffee near the RNLI station, then a quick check around Fifi and under.. ( no water leaks, nothing missing, all looking good ) and then back on a circular route via the nearest reclamation yard to look for roof tiles ( next house project) ..then to Taunton and back on the A358 to home.. Around 50 miles.. The replacement AVO shocks have transformed the ride, as have the forward brake reaction bars. The brakes now have more feel than previously, but the front replacement pads still need some bedding in.. So almost there... Just need the replacement rear springs fitted ( scheduled for next month at New Elms, I opted out of doing them myself due to age and hassle factor) and all will be well.....
