Yesterday, on my way home from Wrexham, I saw the odometer go from 99999 to 00000 as I entered Corwen and reading 00013 when I got home, which suggests that i have done 4819 in the RP since I bought it twelve months ago.
So, today I gave it a 'big' service:- changed all the oils, cleaned the sump gauze, greased and oiled everything that should be greased or oiled, painted the springs with oil, checked and adjusted the brakes, adjusted the tappets, cleaned the points and plugs and reset the igniting timing, and cleaned and reset the carburettor. And made a list of things that will require attention in the near future.
But, for the moment, the little car is running very well. To be fair, it was running well before, but it's surprising how a modicum of attention perks it up!
