If I understood the late owners wife, it was done less than two years ago!

Just got back from the MOT station. very impressed with the car, but not the previous owners garage who repaired the sill ends! Has been advised on both repairs. (for piece of mind). Repairs are :testable" but advises a correct repair be carried out in the future. So, now she is Tested until August ...

My first S series Auto, so give me a chance. LOL

id be interested to see your service of the autobox.. For a start it will be getting my usual "double flush" of the fluid, and then left till totally drained. Then a good quality fluid will be used to correct levels. After that, it will have a test run, to see if any "niggles" need dealing with, if...

A little update, progress has been a little slow due to other commitments, but some work has been done. Starting to get there. Still arch's to Tidy, Hatch paint to deal with and screen seal to do.
