Re: Intermittent misfire
Thanks guys for your comments. I took the top of the carb off and cleaned it out, was a bit dirty. Put it back together and still the same. Taken carb of and doing a rebuild. Also going to check valve clearance too. Just bought a new rocker cover gasket today. Let hope this cures it.

Result, gremlins gone. Found loose wiring on the back of the fuse box. One of the connector blocks had come loose. Off for an Mot Friday, lets hope them gremlins don't return.

window weather strips
Well what a transformation that makes. I purchased some new weather strips for both doors and it looks so much better. should have done it ages ago, and didn't cost that much either. £25 to do both sides and really easy to do too. All done in an hour.
