I've just taken the RB out for a spin - all is well and there is one less noise from under the car (there is nothing wrong, just everything is 40 years old).

Excellent write-up Alan!

You suggest a garage would have charged more than £100 - i'd suggest that just for the labour given most hourly rates these days!

It's all the little things that add up like this to make the old beast that much more pleasant to drive and own and also make any future odd-noise-diagnosis easier because first they're easiler to hear and second, you're (normally) able to rule out a few things it might be.
