Ask the question in spring - when a few might come out of hibernation.

Mine's currently getting something of a fettle and is therefore SORNed (its MOT is due next Tuesday, but as it doesn't have an engine in at the moment, that could be a little delayed!)

belts done today, said cambelt was a bit loose shocked , but all the belts were in fairly good order. Still has a slight noise from the balance belt [ pulley/tensioner ? ] , but still works ok ! 41,000 miles , these have lasted on a 16v , so not too bad .
Thats the 16v done now, onto the list of faults with the 20v now !! smile

Mine is still on the road with a current mot. Now a hobby car, which is undergoing a mild restoration/refresh after nearly 15 years of my ownership.

i have the original to, the one with the orange push lock, i had the problem of a not closing bonnet to , because the mechanic closed the bonnet not unlock the strut ,This meant that the hood didnt line up anny more. they had to repaire it, 1,5 is ok when you rev the engine ?

the problem with the bonnet is cured [ so he says ] is when you pull the bonnet lever in the cabin, is to return it fully back otherwise the bonnet will not shut. I think he must have done something to it, as it was fine before he touched it !!
When one of my cars go in next time , i am going to label them "DELICATE, HANDLE WITH CARE ", might get some respect , you never know !!

3 days it was in there, told him " no rush " and this is the best they can do in 3 hours labour.
