Thanks, Rob.

Thanks for that Alfie. Just bought one Will do Urena. Dropped it in last Tuesday so expecting word back this coming week. He initially said it was possibly because of the box being so heavy already but is gonna check filters and whatnot to be sure. Ill report back when I have spoken to him. Rob.

Yeah, smokes quite a lot sat on tickover. Haven't noticed too much while driving, too busy keeping it in a straight line!

So the mechanic finally called today with his findings.
Steering - Adjusted the box and greased the life out of it, sorted. Fuel system cleaned - Glass bowl full of cack. Speedo problem - Apparently the box thing that controls it has been removed (can't remember what he called it) and whoever did it has tried to make the speedo work without it, hence the false reading. Starting issues (low battery power) - Alternator faulty, not charging. Electrician looking at it tomorrow (16th) to see about sorting it. Couple of minor issues found regarding the next test but nothing major.
He did say he was concerned about the lack of a tachograph but I have it on good authority that it is not required unless used for 'hire or reward' - Discuss...
Ill post again when I have it back and have driven it.
Regards, Rob.
