The 'Jesus Christ' handles are by far proving most troublesome. Lots of cursing took place. I fitted them. Eventually. Now I'm resting.

Haven't updated this for a while, The sun-roof is still fighting off the water, although now I'm up-happy with how it looks cosmetically.
K-BAN has been ultra-reliable over the winter and she's now being prepped for her MOT at the end of March. A new rear height corrector was fitted yesterday, she now has the rear end reflexes of a cat! Ultra quick to respond to height correcting! Suspension was adjusted slightly as she was a little low at the back and a patch welded underneath. Just need to sort the horns (again!) and washer jets and she'll be presented for MOT either this week or next.
Ahh... She's also got an oil leak from the back of the engine somewhere and a LHM leak from the FDV.

I got a sneaky feeling the little O ring thats fitted to the pressure relief screw on the regulator was weeping...
But there was that much everywhere it was hard to pin point.. I did check all unions and they were tight..

An oil leak at the rear of the engine is probably the cam cover seal weeping and the oil running all the way down the engine.

Spent some more time on K-BAN today, I now have functioning twin horns and a good powerful stream of water from the washer jets.

The oil leak is a funny one.... Upon looking underneath whilst the car was on the ramp I was initially alarmed at the amount of oil but it's only leaving 10p sized spots when parked.
