You weren't wrong there Mike you defo had your moneys worth out of the old one,



Mike getting stuck in learning how to change his clutch, it's great to see people working on and learning about their cars



luckily the subframe bolts came out allowing us to lower the subframe, i've seen a few of these seize when partially out





cleaned and re-greased bearing shaft including fork pivot point very important to make a thorough job here for smooth clutch operation



then smooth off and re-grease the push rod shaft and gear stick, the end result is a nice light clutch and buttery smooth gear changes,,hmm looks like i'll have to get mine done now

Great day again today, Thanks Ron for the Tappet adjust, Thanks to Ray and Rhauri for letting me test drive their cars, and Rhauri for then scaring me to death, when he showed me how to drive it (still shaking)

All together another productive day

Lee did some wrapping

We even had some Migrant turn up in his vest, claiming it was sunny in Manchester

And!!!! Ray never bullied anyone........not once.

The Anglo-Portuguese Alliance (or Aliança Luso-Britânica), ratified at the Treaty of Windsor in 1386, between England (succeeded by the United Kingdom) and Portugal is the oldest alliance in the world that is still in force — with the earliest treaty dating back to the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373
