Has just acquired a Thirteen Month Ticket! Hoorah! Now I need to do the blasted rear-wheel-arches, properly this time with a new pair, so I can cut-out all the old rust and attach nice new steel. On the way home from the testing station the AC-Pump failed, and blew the belt! New pump on the way! I'm a very pleased chappy.

Congratulations, a good feeling as I know only too well.
Where did you source the AC pump?

Thanks Gents. Pump from a mate that is in the business, he does the whole package, and he'll come over and do the re-gas. He provided a new condenser and drier last year for a better price than anyone. I'm £89 for the unit and I'll fit it myself after he's drained the system, then he'll re-gas.

Well done PJ,
Not many left on the road now, so it's good to have ours showing the flag.

News update. Fitted the new compressor, not that easy, the old one took a couple of knocks with a leather hammer to get it off the dowels. New one came with new dowels and new 'O'-rings, and went on a treat. All tightened up and in-place, still the 'short-belt' on until my mate tells me it's time to re-gas. Just have to make-sure that the air-con light stays off. Long journeys to do this coming weekend, it'll do 'Old-Movvy' the world of good after sitting in the drive for the last month.

Update. Good journeys with no problems, over 1000 miles in 2 days. Now Air-Con working properly, cold at 4 degrees. Next job during winter is replace rear wheel-arches, and hit the sills with a hammer to see where the patches need to be welded in.
