Thanks for that,

Problem is taking it for a run pre-MOT....so guess lots of revving on driveway and book an MOT in Scotland or something :lol:

Full service is next....I am really excited by this, I have owned the van for 18 years....and forgotten just how great they are....so time to really give it some love!

:D

FINALLY !!!!!!!!!

Back on the road.

Its been a slog, although mainly a lack of time, money, etc, etc, the same old story.

However, it all came together yesterday and I took the plunge. Insured it and booked it for an MOT.

It passed!
(a good list of advisories to work through, but I can sort those out now I am moving)

On the way home I taxed it too!

So after a few years of having to walk by my van whilst it was parked on the drive (and sharing my wifes Corsa)

..... I am now back T25ing :D



Yippeeee!
