Once I had the MMC licquorice tubing sorted out in 2009 with aquarium fittings and tubing I fitted a polytunnel grade cover over the whole of the critical area as they all leak in that area at some stage if you use the car year round, as I do. So I shall be fitting one to our Sons 4/4 Sport before the rainy season.
No such worries of course with the trusty Plus 8, she just carries on in her analogue way like a Shire Horse.
She shed her throttle cable Tuesday night on the way home but with so much torque available made it home having "jury rigged" the throttle at 900 rpm with a tywrap easily from Dartmouth to home - try that on the newer generation CXes..
Looking forward to getting my 48" chest and 17.75 Stones into the footwell to replace the cable on our return from our holiday in Eire
It's a good job my good lady is a yoga expert and could easily slip inside a Coke bottle at around 8.5 Stone wet and a 10/12 as it'll save me taking the seat out.
BHM had a couple in stock and it will probably arrive today, they are good Sarah and the team.
