    Spring has sprung

    Getting access to change the cambelt. Glad it didn't happen on the road!

    Very Macbeth - "Hubble, Buuble, Coil and Trouble"...wasn't it?

    A bit like your Northern Tour - "when shall we three meet again, in thunder, lightning or in rain?"

    That's an MOT fail Chris.

    I know because the Alfa failed two years ago on that point. Cost an arm and a leg to replace all four shocks and springs and pans. Apparently the 159 is know for breaking springs... usually at the top though, not in the middle! I may have a spare pair if you need them but they might be a little stiff - I think they're 450lbs!
