    Been starting the maestro up regularly , but last week decided not to starting again.
    Going to put fast check on it tomorrow . As pumps not priming , when going will need a suspension bush on front then mot.
    Managed to get a nos rear quarter panel ( with Austin Rover sticker on it ), for future use . But need to get it started fist.
    Other than that much as before.
    Thanks Alan.

    Just drove the Maestro up for mot this week.
    Passed no problems.
    But forgot just how torquey the O series engine is and how light it feels.
    Hopefully get some more use with it over next 12months. Desperately needs a clean though just drove it straight to garage for mot dust as well. Will get some descent pictures once cleaned.

    Glad it's passed and back on the road. You may want to put some injection cleaner in it to get all the stale fuel out

    Just a quick question does the O series engine have a lower cam belt cover.
    I don't ever remember one fitted, but my mate thinks it had one. Last time they did cambelt.
    Thanks Alan.
    Nope, only a top cover
