Woken from a long sleep...

Hi,
The MOT man as finally done the decent thing and passed Molly! Hurrah!

now I am planning on taking her down to Donnington (from West Lothian) Now seeing as she has lain dormant for the best part of a year, what is the advice on checks / remidial work and what is the consensus on spares I should bring. I'm planning an oil change and valve clearance check. The timing was done by the MOT place (long story but a big improvement) and all the brakes are new.

any ideas?

thanks


Rupert

set of points, condenser,fan belt, a roll of elephant tape for
split hoses, emery cloth in case the fuel pump points need cleaning,
set of spanners plus a good adjustable one for the odd sizes and
screwdrivers. I have never had trouble but many people suffer from
duff ignition coils so it is worth carrying a replacement in the boot.

Everything Willie says..
and some wire to hold things back on if they come loose.
Plus some oil, brake fluid and LOTS of water.

Try self amalgamating tap from halfauds.... when it heats up the tarry stuff in it melts and makes a watertight seal

If you are a bit tight on space the 2 litre plastic mineral water bottles fit in the spare wheel area square shaped ones are best, remember there is also useful storage next to the battery unless you have a massive one, and my 2 favorite spares when going on a long run, a clutch return spring and a throttle return spring just fit the new ones and keep the old ones as the spares.
Rupert if I remember you have one of the rare genuine Highway Yellow cars, good luck and happy rallying, hope to see you there but I will only be there on the sunday
