Engine running.

Got the engine running today. I turning the engine over without the plugs to get some oil pressure and the petrol up to the carb, reconnected the coil and put the plugs in. Much to my surprise the engine started at the second flick of the key! I had a small water leak but I think I've cured that now. I can't put off the SVA test for much longer.

Well done Geoff, now get that DVLA appointment booked. You'll be able to drive it there now.

I think it's about time we all came over for an inspection.

Define morning, not tooooooo early I hope. (normally don't finish work & get to bed until about 04:00am)

I'll suggest 11 am Sunday if the weather's nice.
I've already seen the car and can confirm it's worth the trip, so who's up for raiding Geoff's on Sunday?
