What have you done today with your Austin Seven
went down to beach to continue running in and attending to snagging list and take a photo in the sun. Found I was missing a wheel nut and replaced that; tightened up others. Noticed both oil pipe unions were now leaking, and still haven't found manifold leak - now wondering whether it might just be from valve chest, now that engine running hotter with a thermostat on? Then charging stopped (third brush solder had broken AFTER overhauling it all and not noticing that was dodgy...) Car cut out on way back and wouldn't restart, so pushed it 500m home with lots of people talking to me as I went! Best was... "Is that a Bentley?" (!) When I went back out to solve the non-start, of course it started first time. So tightened cable to starter....
Glad I'm still essentially driving in circles though, otherwise that could have been far more onerous!
