I now have the list of jobs, and will be booking it in for jobs 1a & 1b next week.
1a. N/S headlight unit (not really a priority but he has one and I want it before someone else gets it)
1b. Front discs & pads
2. Rear discs & pads
3. Cam belt & auxilaries
4a. Exhaust back box hangers fix (it is currently hanging on courtesy of a "botch job")
4b. Rad flush & anti freeze
5. O/S radius arm bearing
I'm looking to get these done one each month unless I have a lottery win between times and will drive gently until all are done. Bit of a long process and will cost me pretty much what I paid for the car but once it's done it's done (until the next lot crops up I guess). I asked about the bobbin and he reckoned that it will be ok for now but we could look to getting a new bobbin at some point.
On a positive note my car just had it's first admirer today! I was dropping my son off for a weeks activity holiday and a guy who worked there stopped to comment on it and offer me a headlight unit! Turns out that he has an estate himself and has owned several others in the past and has done much of the work on them himself. He isn't on this forum, apparently he tried to join but didn't get accepted. I should have taken his number in case I need any of the parts he was offering but I guess I know where he is if I need anything.
I smiled for several miles on the way home, it's great to have my car appreciated by a complete stranger!
