Yep gone through another MOT. Couple of advisories - bit of play in a wheel bearing and a general one on a small leak on the exhaust.
The exhaust is pretty battered now so if anyone has one laying around I'm in the market. Was going to go full stainless but the cost is somewhat prohibitive yikes
Also I've recently developed a fault where upon starting up the engine only seems to run on 6/7 cylinders with a definite misfire. As soon as I pull away with a couple of thousand revs then It clears and runs lovely afterwards. Then if I stop and once engine has been off for a few mins then the same problem on start up. Any ideas? Leaking injector perhaps ?

Ron, if your looking for a stainless exhaust, I couldn't recommend JP Exhausts from Macclesfield more highly. Not sure what there prices are now but they built and fitted one for me nearly 26 yrs ago (around £300 i think) and it's just showing signs of deterioration in some places.
I will be posting details soon, but in short they are upholding the "Life tine guarantee", and will be replacing it for a spanking new one.
Your misfire sounds like overfueling, and I'm sure someone with more knowledge on that subject will shout up.
Cheers Bradders
