Good luck and keep us posted!

Cheers

Matt [/quote]Yep, really sounded close didn't it.  Well, as I said, having been asleep for 36 years this beauty obviously wanted some real careful handling.

I tinkered some more and managed to break one of the plug ones (I'll post some pictures of these later, they're dead on their feet), and then I called my favourite mechanic (Dad back in South Africa) and had a chat.

With dad's advice ringing in my ears I went to work, and on getting home tonight I couldn't wait to get out to the garage.  Here's a compilation of the result.
