Looks fabulous.

Had a similar issue with my temp, but fitted a solid state voltage regulator from Spyida and it sits just right now.

Brilliant Keith, she's looking great as well as running well. I'll keep a lookout for you around the local area.

I did yesterday, trip to the MOT station and it failed because no rear brake lights working swear

Mechanic got his elec tester thing out, checked all fuses etc…. and it was the brake switch with a poor contact. Quickly removed and cleaned and all working and passed the MOT. I might order a replacement switch from Mr. Rutter and keep as a spare ?

Glad to see you got it sorted Craig. Might be worth having a spare, but it may outlive the car! Sounds like under use if a clean up sorted the problems. A bit more
drive between Mot's?

Good news on the pass Craig, I'm always a bit apprehensive about the emissions on mine.

I see the garage you use has the same ramp with hydraulic plates to test front suspension wear. What milage is on your car and is there any top/bottom movement due to kingpin wear?

Curious because I get wear noted on the offside every year yet it never seems to get any worse. It's also noted on some of the certificates from before I purchased the car. I suspect a lack of greasing from previous owners but could be wrong
