Getting a few miles in.......

... and sorting out a few snags. Indicator telltale bulb replaced, drivers door mirror fitted. After one attempt that didn't work well, leading to a (successful) search of the road for a fixing piece. :-)

A few areas of rattles and vibration addressed too. This has further improved driving enjoyment!

One thing that remains to be sorted - a leak from the bottom of the radiator, looks like a crack in the weld around the drain plug. Not major, but the radiator will have to come out and be re-re-welded. Probably when I've done 1000 miles and it's time for a general fettle and tidy-up. Frequent checks and top-ups for now.

Tyre pressures. Workshop manual says 18f, 23 rear, but that was for older cross-plys. When I picked the car up, I has 25/26. Reduced to 21/26 and it feels "heavier" and less balanced at the front. So I'll up the pressures to 24/26 and see how that goes.

Looking for a few more replacement bits, drivers door window frame, drivers door exterior handle, various switches. Nothing urgent.

It's tiny!
