They're not stretch bolts so if still in good condition you can reuse them without any issues. Sean Turnbull might have some if you need replacements though.
When tightening follow what the book says on torques...

I'm yet to drain the tank as waiting for a couple of parts to arrive. After I've done that I will reset the throttle body and see how that goes. I don't have a emissions tester so with luck can do that if needed at the MOT station on live testing. If ok then put in back in for a retest....

You certainly have all the tools John...

Failed, I put the wrong wheels on the front and rear, and emissions. Was 4.5 so too high.Went back in the afternoon to try and get them down but it wasn't having any of it as it settled on 6.0 so worse.

Cold starting issues first.
When you turn the ignition on and turn over from cold does the small rod (fast idle)pop out of the stepper motor? If so has the carb been adjusted for clearance to the fast idle for cold start? There is a fast idle adjustment bolt that connects with the fast idle rod...

Im not sure of the part number as i dont have time to look it up but it might be GRD108/GRD983, best check, and Teeside has one in stock. It's for a Montego 1.6 but I don't know if they're different https://www.inracing.co.uk/teesdale-...e-catalogue-g/

you can update the glove box by changing it to a facelift one that doesn't have a key. Is it just the key lock you need as they're are a few on ebay? there's also a company breaking a Montego in Spain, here is a link to a lock but not sure if this is what you're after https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/147...

Can you get it re-cored by a local radiator company? Think Brighton Radiators re-core from memory, Northern Radiators also do that but they're a bit far from Sussex

[Jeff Turbo]

Car now booked in for MOT on 6th May. Had a last clean up round the car, cleared out the boot and it's the car that keeps on giving................The radiator fan stopped working again and I traced it back to a bad earth and live wires being very crusty. Rewired it and now working, found the battery...
