Hello everyone, so long time no post! Unfortunately the MOT ran out on the hearse at the start of September whilst we were away on France, and there's no point in getiing it a tocket until the rear lights are fixed. So i'm waiting on a replacement rear light cluster then all should hopefully be well.

The exhaust seems to be leak-free, and the car is SO much quieter now. Still have the ticking/tappety noise so suspect the manifold may be cracked, but that can be lived with easily! Unless it causes emissions problems at MOT time.

We are back into full house buying mode post holiday, with builders, heating engineers and asbestos specialists giving us all sorts of quotes to rectify issues in the hope that we can re-negotiate the price to a more applicable amount. It's all rather complicated! Our first house was a new build and bought through a first time buyers scheme, so was hardly any effort at all, very much not-so this time around.

Regarding the rear lights, I have been reading on here and came across an interesting post - my saloon clusters seem to have a mixture of twin filament and single filament bulbs, should they all be single filament as it's a saloon?

Thanks,
Tom.
