Latest Update!!

Finally back on the road after having a replacement engine fitted.
Initially couldn't rev over 3000 rpm, and was super sluggish to drive.
Turns out it was the Banjo filter almost totally blocked.
I'm back in the game!!

Splendid.

Nice to hear. Did you do the engine swop?

[ADAMD]

I didn't do it myself, a local garage fitted the engine I bought from ebay.
I didn't have the facilities to lift the vehicle over the engine,
although one place said they took off the passenger door and lifted it out and through the door - is that possible??!!
