List of known faults and work required.

Here's a list of the stuff that I know needs to be achieved before the car will pass an MoT - I've categorised these as far as possible and added a list of non-essential items below it as well.

Repair Known Engine Fault:
  • Take engine out
  • Replace all Engine Core Plugs
  • Replace clutch
  • Put engine back in
Recommissioning Work:
  • Remove spark plugs, pour oil into the bores and allow to soak
  • Change oil

  • Replace All Coolant Hoses
  • Fill Coolant
  • Replace gearbox oil

  • Inspect / replace drivebelt
  • Grease suspension grease points
  • Check lighting/ switchgear works
  • Find key for locking petrol filler cap
  • Check operation of seatbelts

Miscellaneous Repairs:
  • Trace source of fuel smell (possibly tank but fuel pipe under car also looks suspect)
