I joined the Wirral Classic Car Club.......

[Morris Montego]

No need, no worries Jeff, after it's 8 day scenic journey it has finally arrived.

I'll fit this weekend

A big welcome to the Club, Monty! I've been a member since April. You'll find the advice and support here truly incredible, brilliant!

[Morris Montego]

Good morning Jeff - Still no sign, Evri should be calling me today after I messaged them late last night. I guess it will turn up, but just in case they have somehow lost it, would you by any chance have another?

I ain't having a good week with car parts - yet again the parts ordered,...

[Morris Montego]

Yes, indeed it was - perhaps I should have taken more note of this before we went, but I didn't expect the formalities to dominate the whole evening

.....I'll try their next meet

[Morris Montego]

A few weeks ago, I joined the local "Wirral Classic Car Club" for the nominal sum of £12 per annum.
Last night my wife and I attended their monthly meet. Dave was hoping for a generally pleasant, social night, the advertised buffet AND lots of opportunity to talk Montego. Was I disappointed!...

[Morris Montego]

Cheers Jeff

[Morris Montego]

No sign of the relay yet Jeff

[Morris Montego]

Exactly!!! I'm sure a full & proper job on the sills would not have costed that much more in time and ££...

Mathew said the car did feature in "Monzo" where even way back then his father was complaining of a leaking sunroof!

[Morris Montego]

My short drive round the block, although hardly conclusive, did not reveal any issues.

It's recent motorway blast was apparently fine

The sunroof.... ...

Went to see M62 XCM again today and took it for a short "round the block"

It has had MOT work done but nothing more - even the work on the sills did not stretch to a full de-rust and paint, just the structural bits.
Sunroof leaks, seal on roof looks terrible
Driver's...

........as above, the '6 is on numbered days. Having sourced the parts myself, typing my reg. no. into numerous websites, I took it for service. Air filer and glow plugs fitted to my car both different. It ain't the first time this has happened
Monstro number two please!

[Morris Montego]

I think the old guy was very attached to it and didn't want to see it heading for the scrap yard.....but also had too high expectations of its subsequent value

"I've only had a smartphone for less than a year and still only use it for texts and calls"

How pleasantly refreshing to hear!
