the old boy had a "home" service done by a mobile mechanic, this was due to his inability to drive it to a garage,
the Heyco spanner is missing from the boot as are most... you know what's coming next... :P

yes you guessed it.... his halfords plug key got stuck down in the head, and there it stood until now..
a bit of WD40 and some patience I managed to get it out tonight fitted new plugs/oil and she's alive I must say it runs damn well :D

Paedo fest next, I will be out with my 2 buckets/cillit bang and fairly liquid in the next few days :)

The higher of the two is correct, but I think they look better on the slot below.

Mine was always in the lower slat until I swapped my smoked Hellas for standard lights and put the badge where it should have been.

The boot badge is miles from its proper position too :wink:
