Not too bad really. I'm looking at mine as a final to-do list as the worst outcome.

Only got the emissions to sort now. Overall I think its been a good day, even the self centering worked !! I can definitely see light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to the many on this forum who have helped me along the way.

Having problems with the engine dying on me. I can run it for half an hour - slight misfire now and again. But when I tried to take it to a garage to test the emissions after about 1/2 a mile it started to badly misfire and finally stopped, as if you'd switched the engine off. I checked for loose connections and swapped the carb ( Pierburg ). Gave it rest for a few days, tried it again today, ok idling for 15 mins. As soon as I got to about 1/2 a mile, stopped again. Help !!!.

Sounds like something is getting too hot, fuel pump or something electronic too close to a header or rad hose?

I don't know why I didn't check the fuel filter, it was full of Sh***. Couldn't adjust the mixture, screw was rounded. Swapped carb and adjust mixture until the car ran ok and made the trip to a local garage. Set up mixture now HC reading is approx 439 instead of the previous 2291. Now time to book the retest.

Registration form
 
I phoned Swansea last week to enquire about which forms I needed. The chap said V627 and V55/4. Is form V55/4 for a Q plate and V55/5 for age related ?

V627/1 from tinterweb. Your car not donor goes in the top right.
V55/5 for age related. Order online only and takes 2 weeks.
