I think you will have to mot it once (ie the first time) after being sorn and then its exempt from then on. I think this is to stop anyone pulling something out of the barn after a long time and going straight on the road.! Unless someone knows better.
To get back on Thread Lauren,
I have found some radiator flush in my workshop that you can have FOC, I can bring it to thursdays meeting if you are going to be able to make it.
Well I wouldn't want to risk the cut price stuff in my engines, ...I value them too much.
Having a cracked block would not be much consolation for saving a couple of quid however much I was told they were the same quality.
It had to be worth it as a lot of people were bidding, not sure if its staying in this country but as I am at the auction again tomorrow I will try and find out. I can't see any other Prime Ministers vehicle being worth it !
A lovely find, looks good too, especially if its been outside under a cover all that time.
Looks good enough to spray with wd40 and head off to a show!:-)
Sorry , I have now looked in 3 of my Dingo books and cannot find a torque setting.........it just seems to say retighten first 500 miles and therafter every 1000. Tighten without using excessive force.
I will keep looking until I find it but it must be out there somewhere.
