Its done about 20 miles since MOT in November last year (all in Nov/Dec), MOT expired in November.

Emptied the back out, tweaked the LPG, didn't bother to wash it or check anything, back to 1st time passes!

It had a few advisories

Rusty brake pipes (been meaning to replace them for years. I will make sure I do it soon)
Slight corrosion on chassis (no holes!)
Slight Play in steering rack end (needs a new Track rod, anyone know how hard they are to replace?)
Rear Shock absorber bushes deteriorated (have 2 new gen ford dampers to fit)
Slight play in N/S front top strut mount.

Not too bad...
