Small but worthwhile gains.

There are two kinds of replaceable lampholders in the instrumentation and the one with only a single layer of contacts doesn't work in the clock. Once I realised my mistake, I had it fixed in moments. The Eledasa mod didn't seem to work so I suspect that after thirty years of inactivity, the relay Isn't playing. A job for Tuesday. The big one was to change over the front spheres which were the wrong kind and rather hard, for a pair of IFHS TD spheres which had covered 200 miles in Wheelybin before I realised it was a challenge without reward. The car doesn't now dart about, chasing the camber and is much more stable. The majority of the diagonal pitching has now gone, suggesting that the trear spheres could do with changing and a new hardydisc should finish the job, once the strut returns have been fitted. Brimming the tank shows 52.6 MPG which is pretty good consideringI havent used an injector cleaner yet. Lucas pumps don't like running on veg oil but a tankful of Jet A1 On a 150,000 mile old engine made 8 MPG improvement on a car I once owned. This afternoon I need to repair the window channel on the driver's side to quell the wind noise before a trip to Breizh to buy more bits. I'm really enjoying being back in a BX. The incremental improvements make it better every week and I expect it to be quite a good 'un given another few months.
