Yep and the good news doesn't stop there. The head seems to have new set of valves and stem seals  No need for a decoke and all valves seat perfectly. Only question is why do all this and then not torque down the head properly  and what else have they done wrong? Pic of head after wiping off the oil and gunk with a rag. |

Maybe! Trikes back on the road again. Just trundling around the village at the moment to make sure every things ok. At one point the wife happened to be following in the car, when I asked how it looked, hoping she might say great or nice or even ok, the reply I got was " like some old fool on a tractor"  |

Got the V5C today  It's wrong  The engine number is incorrect and I know it's not my fault. Gave Swansea a call and now I have to write a nice letter explaining what a lot of the situation and asking them to correct it. This I will send recorded delivery after the problems I and others on this site have had in the past. Some mention of having to get it inspected again Rant over. |

The chassis number was correct, but they got the body type wrong. I had to send them a photocopy of the SVA certificate to show it's a pick-up & not a saloon.

DVLA didn't return the MSVA certificate but I kept a scan copy. However that doesn't show the engine number. That was written down on the V627/1 inspection report which I don't have a copy of.
The V5C also doesn't have the model name on it but at least the make is down as OLDS.
Remember folks keep copies of everything and I mean EVERYTHING

Ever wonder whether some of this is deliberate?
No of course it can't be - can it?
