I finally managed to get a bit of time to pop over to
@rob quilter's and finish off our interior swap. unfortunately my red dash never made it into robs Lude because of the accident

but the swap went ahead as planned, and now my interior is finished

from a full red interior to this -
I'd just like to say a big thanks to Rob for having me for the day, and for giving me his steering wheel and gear knob, as they were in MUCH better condition than mine. And a big thanks to Rhian for the coffees and sausage & bacon rolls
after reading a thread about transparent dizzy caps, and checking out the link for a red 1, I thought I would see if they did blue 1's to. so I had to get 1 of these
its a nice addition to my bay, just need a few blue hoses now
also bought these a while ago -
so after receiving a delivery from opie oils, I thought I would slap them on along with fresh engine and gearbox fluids. drained the engine oil, filled back up with fresh shell helix 10/40, let it idle for a bit, drained that, and then filled it back up with more helix. then drained the gearbox oil, and filled it back up with about 1.9 litres of Amsoil MTF.
after the oil change, I seem to be getting better MPG

and my gearbox has always felt good, but has recently developed a bit of 5th gear crunch at high revs. the gearbox still feels great, but I haven't tested it for 5th gear crunch yet. I think i'll make a few more journeys and hopefully the Amsoil will work its magic
