Took the dog for a run round Bala Lake to put some more miles on the Seven after fitting a new rear main bearing (see thread 'Rear Main Bearing'). A quiet meander along the south side of the lake through Llangower through to Llanuwchllyn and then a fast run (40 to 45 mph so fast for a box saloon) up the A 494 back to Bala. Super fun! The engine makes all the right noises now - Industrial sewing machine with a hint of tin trays falling down stone steps. Will have to sort the back axle out sometime. It growls worse than the dog!
