Gone and done it again and now own my 5th A series in as many years - A Blue Celeste 87 - needs a bit of TLC but hopefully will be the basis for a sound little motor. Spent all morning getting the electrics to work OK but they now seem fine - combination of the usual shite Citroen fuse box gremlins and the crappy bullet and bodged lucar connectors.

Trailer hire is cheap enough - soon offset by the savings... |

News from the garage today re MOT.......exactly as predicted, rear floor and safety belt mounts need repairs and headlight lenses need replacing but otherwise, apart from adjusting handbrake which I knew I should have done before taking it up to them, no other major issues so with a bit of Fettling and my cash should have it back in a couple of weeks. |

Yeh - I had considered removing rear seat etc but tbh I don't have the ability or the place to do welding at the moment so have to rely on Richard Daltons man...yes, I know JoJo is just up the road but I needed it roadworthy smartish and then will discuss with her the bits that need more "cosmetic" attention at a later date..... |
