Do you love the car? Pay for the work Want to try something new? Somebody on here will snap it up It's a sort of lose-lose situation, either you pay for the work to up the car value or the value drops significantly because it needs so much work As @daveski says the maintenance is nothing out...

I find it hard to be at meets that early unless I have plans afterwards for the day. If I can make it to one will turn up earlier then - might get better as it gets warmer into the year 🤞

Circlip removed - bushing is definitely above the groove. Gave it a good brake clean and reinserted. Tested it with a 150 mile roundtrip; a night and day difference. It's removed the little hesitation I had when shifting in higher revs. Alongside the quickshift 3.0 there is no gearstick...
