MOT Passed!

yay:

With three advisories:

NSF Front Wheel Bearing slight play
NSF Front Brake Hose slightly deteriorated
OSF Top Swivel joint has slight play

He noted that the emissions were TOO low in his view and suggested turning the carbs up a bit ;)

brakes

how did they test the front brake balance?

Must have super clever kit or did they note this on a test drive?

Manifold swaps

Give or take the emissions stuff is an ERC5925 interchangeable with an ERC7176? that's non-detoxed to detoxed?

Right hand manifold :( help!

to clarify that's the one on left of you are standing facing the front with the vacuum valve.

Just noticed a hairline crack that is making a chuffing sound.

Anyone got one? quite annoyed as this was absolutely of my own doing - DO NOT RUSH!

P/n ERC7176

manifold fixed

Gaskets now on correctly. Also to note! the pin on the water pump that faces with the pulley was slightly over size so when I tightened up the fan it pushed back through and jammed the pulley! - Watch out for this on third party pumps... Need a new lead for no8 as in my excitement managed to get it ...
