Monday - Part 2:
I really thought that an MOT pass as far as lighting went until I remembered to check the rear number plate light…
Nothing.
Now, quite by chance, I'd seen a spare bulb in the Summer House the other day (while looking for something else. )
Swapped the bulbs over and still nothing.
So I found a spare indicator bulb and used that to test the wiring loom inside the boot.
So at least I know the wiring is fine and it is the bulbs that are broken (new ones now ordered).
Just a few other odd jobs.
I had a closer look at the chips in the yellow paint and it was caused by tightening the grille into place.
So I removed all the fixing brackets.
And removed the grille itself.
So the next job will be to rough up the painted surface so I can get a good bond when I fix the grille into place.
I made a start on cleaning up the second wheel.
And loosely fitted the first wheel that I cleaned.
The car is still on blocks of wood as I still have a couple of small jobs to do on the underside.
But, overall, it is actually quite close to being ready for the MOT, hopefully within the next couple of weeks. <

Cheers,
Paul.
PS
I even managed to get a poor photo of Jupiter and Venus this morning.
