Well the car is all loaded up on the trailer ready for tomorrow.
I did run it up eariler and it still wouldn't idle correctly. I pulled the vac hose of the manifold and it got really lumpy and kept trying to die without lots of revs.
To stop it stalling I've upped the revs to about 1200 on the adjuster but I'm not happy with the "solution" at the sec.
Has anyone any other ideas?

Good luck for tomoz fella! Car looks great, with your running fault you say it does it when the car has warmed up!? Is the auto choke working correctly? If that isn't going right off it would run crap then check all your vacuum pipes are in the correct place. Hope you get it sorted before the test as I don't think he will be happy with the emissions if it's not running correctly.

Did you blank the hole/pipe Steve,if you leave the hole open it bypasses the throttle butterfly and runs lean and will die on idle.

I've got the left side of the manifold running to the esc2. The right side is blanked with a tapered bolt. In the centre one side is blanked with a bolt and a short bit of vacuum pipe and the other bit of the t goes to the crank breather.
Is this right as it's only just started to happen but got worse last night.

I've got a grin from ear to ear as the car passed and I had a lovely 25mile drive home in it.
More details to follow.

Well done on the first time pass. It is a great feeling.
Just the DVLA to deal with now. Keep on to them and hopefully you can speed the process along. That's what I did anyway.

Hopefully the weather will improve. Just seems to have rained since I got my plates!!
