Fuel level sender units are going to start becomming an issue, I think.

All the same, as far as I know, but unavailable new, so if you take a used one from an older car you could end up in the same situation. Last three I've fitted have all played up within months of fitting.

Not sure if they were originally available for a Mk1 but I like it :D

MOT next week so a swift look over revealed a pin holed drive shaft boot and suspected play in one of the rack end ball joints - that turned out to be the lock nut on the track rod had worked loose so easy fix. I'd actually sent for the joint so have it in stock now if I ever need it. Luckily it was the left hand driveshaft boot that needed changing so a pretty straight forward job.

Clean pass :D
Running a bit lean but passed emissions without issue but need to figure out how to adjust mixture slightly.
Edit:
Found the idle mixture screw and took it out 1/4 turn, that should do it. I'll see what my Gunsons meter says when I get a chance.
