lovely looking car and very brave trip, don't think I could trust mine to go that far
I know what you mean.
I’ve spent the last 3 years getting it as sorted as I believe is possible. I can’t bear to have an unreliable car.
As well as all the usual mechanical servicing; belts, brakes, tyres, battery, etc., the fused relays have been replaced and the fuse board reworked. The underside of the car has been freshly undersealed as well.
The only thing that I was hesitant about was the ECU because I know mine has a problem that it’s running too lean and can’t be adjusted. The screw doesn’t do anything when turned. I was worried that it could cut out on overrun but it didn’t miss a beat once. Scouring for a decent replacement now.
