Thanks guys. Yep still things to be done but enjoying getting to this stage and looking forward to enjoying driving her again. It was fantastic to give her a wash and she looks great.

Yep a big thanks to Nick and Craig they did a sterling job and really helped getting her done.

MOT, Tax and insurance all sorted so she's all good to go, woo hoo. The diff pinion problem seems to be the mechanic didn't tighten the nut properly, we torqued the nut to 205ftlb and she seems fine, time will tell I suppose.

I love the pic of the empty workshop

That's a nice sight......

Also , did you have the overdrive rebuilt - and can I ask what it cost ya ?

Burdekin · Sep 19th, 2013, 21:29

Exactly what my wife said. Out for a 50mile cruise tonight which was great and off in the Amazon for the weekend, can't wait.

Yep got it done by http://www.overdrive-repairs.co.uk/ they did an excellent job. I can't remember exactly but I think it was something like £280.
