Well, the news is, really no news. It has behaved faultlessly, and is a total delight. The car now has a quiet life as a second car, doing very little mileage, but I do take it for a blast every now and again to make sure the Vtec works, and to blow the cobwebs away.
I haven't messed around with it, as it was a supremely well sorted example.
I added a Pure DAB head unit (bargain £40 from Halfords clearance). Don't know why as I always play my music in the car anyway and don't listen to the radio. Anyway it looks nice and plays mp3 files fine.
A new battery was fitted at the start of this winter, as due to the car not being used much, the starter needs all the volts it can get. I've tidied a couple of bits on the body, and cleaned the headlights, which was a lot easier than I had anticipated. I used Auto Car Products Headlight Restorer & Sealant Protection Cleaner Formula 1 which was cheap and really effective.
There are a couple of clonks when going over bumps which are due to the side skirts being a little loose, so I'll have a look at that some time. Apart from that it drives beautifully, and everything still works.
It had passed the MOT today and the receptionist told me the fitter had fallen in love with the car. Anyway, in honour of that I took a few pictures of it today.
I hope the previous owner, who did such meticulous work on the car is pleased that it is enjoying its gentle retirement.
nice
