Any idea yet what it was???
Strangely, my shed of a Cortina, been parked under hedge for last 6 months, done nothing to it, started first time.  Put it in for MOT to see what needed doing... Went straight through with just 3 minor minors (if that made sense).  Brought it a couple of new rear tyres as a treat, cos although others legal, what with winter coming and Cortinas well known handling qualities, thought it might save a few brown trouser moments.  Got to save up for tax now.
