Hi again everyone.
Got home smoothly and comfortably with no problems. Popped in to my local hand car wash before I got home and it has come up nicely except for the roof paint (what's left of it). Compared to the BX that it is replacing, it doesn't ride so smoothly but what does. Performance feels about the same (slightly more torque, slightly more weight) and it is still very comfortable. especially compared to modern cars and feels well planted on the road with plenty of 'feel'.
All I've noticed wrong so far are the clutch has quite alot of freeplay and needs pushing right down to the floor and is quite heavy and the radio is a bit pixilated making it hard to tune. I'm hoping that I can download instructions for the hi-fi (Clarion) so that I can work out all its functions.
So that's about it so far, I'll keep you posted.
Good to see that there are some local owners around here.
Regards
John
