I doubt if the Mclaren pit team could swap this turbo any quicker than me now, I've had the bleeding thing on and off that oftenmyatt1972 wrote:Ive got an idea Ian, to save you all the grief of swapping the turbo's why don't you keep mine and I'll have that one

Re: 1986 Series 3 Elford Turbo
My mot ran out the day after the Retrorides gathering and the car has sat in the garage ever since.... today was the first chance I've had to take it for a mot..... passed with no advisories..... not bad for a 30 year old car.
I did have to remind them that the emissions don't get tested, luckily I printed off the proof from the forum before I went for the test.
So happy days....

Re: 1986 Series 3 Elford Turbo
Many thanks, mine past the test on its last MOT in Aug, I explained to the examiner that it did not require one but He was not "aving it".
I did not pursue the matter as it passed with no advisories as well & I take my other cars there as well.
