MOT last week so new windscreen, kingpin bearings, catalytic converter and put a new engine in. It's like a new car now!

Thankfully it went through fine. I tend to let the issues pile up then deal with them all at once, wrongly or rightly! The kingpin bearings have needed doing for the past 4,000 miles, the windscreen got cracked just after last years MOT and the Liana engine has been patiently waiting to go in since that came off the road in June. Nothing happens very quickly here in Norfolk!

Good! A great improvement. No need to drop down a gear for hills and much quicker off the mark. I haven't had it towing the trailer yet but that's where I expect to see the biggest difference. I'll see if I can time a 0-60 and get some idea of MPG in due course.

To remove the old engine, swap the bits over and get it all in and running took 2 days in the end, working on my own. A bit longer than I expected but well worth it.
