The 850 is still tucked away in the garage awaiting the better weather. The MOT is now due but I've put it off for another couple of weeks, as last year when going to and returning from the MOT station there was a heavy frost during the night and the gritters were out, so when I returned home the car was covered in salt. Postponing for a couple more weeks might just be enough for the salt to have been washed off the roads...

Replaced Harold's (850) starter after it started failing intermittently. I got the same Bosch starter (their rebuilt made in Hungary) from FCP that I installed 6 years ago, which lasted about 45k miles. A little disappointing that it didn't last longer, but thankfully this will be covered by their lifetime warranty.

Mine also very conveniently permanently failed in the driveway...

I've been down the dropped tank road before but I haven't read anything about those eco-friendly biodegradable springs.

Olde Blue won't need springs where it's going.

After first test I think i need adjust Speed conversion slightly.
I belief this is from VSS sensor? I need pull ABS fuse and go verify.
