I've done all that.
Ready to go with 12mth ticket
Must get on to this. Stripped original 275lb springs in the electro tub...36hrs of pure magic. Come up a dream. So they are going back on. Check it all over and fit rebuilt o/s/r caliper and its MOT time. Done 4.5k since last mot.
Ok....
So erm...
275lb springs back in. Adjust height and tyre pressures too. feels so much happier.
Stripped rear brakes, rebuilt/serviced a spare caliper, fitted new discs/pads. New cables on monday as were out of stock today. Old cables were "ok" but split and felt sticky.

Wheel never self canceled which was always annoying and tech an MOT fault. Tried a few different things...result was this:

Works a treat despite its appearance!
Working on another oil breather as my peanut butter pot fell off
Can of ale, few breather holes, wire wool in half, pipe almost at the bottom....cost £0!
Made a little bracket, will bolt in front of gearbox, currently drying from paint.

And shortened the exhaust by 20mm at the join from downpipe. Better fitment at rear and when a rubber slipped it had melted the tank a bit

Finish the breather, fit handbrake cables, check lights and its off to mickys
All being well, ie: a pass, its engine bay tidy, dash/wiring tidy and rear floor repaint. Likely to try and insulate doors/roof a little as dampness is a pain this time of year
Surely it will pass. Is mot tomorrow?

I have 0 respect for anyone who doesnt get it at least tested. I want it to be safe. More than happy to have a pair of eyes over it to ensure it wont kill me or someone else

This. My old Land Rover is MOT exempt, but I take it down to the garage to get a second pair of eyes over it. More than often I find looking over stuff over and over makes me worse at not spotting stuff.
Also, had a proper read through this thread at last. Nice work Piggy.
