It’ll be of no surprise to anyone that I have just dug deep and cracked on with this. With no choice in the matter, I had to fix it. I want my garage back for the daily.

As part of my continuous programme to improve Lucas, I wanted to get the tailgate lock working. The latch and release worked, but the key wouldn’t turn.
It’s been an afternoon of working on Lucas today, with the intention of sorting the fuel tank once and for all but ending in a bad discovery.
It’s no surprise that Lucas wasn’t in the best shape when he arrived, so I have been doing small jobs here and there to try and fix some of the more annoying issues he’s had.
Well, it’s most of the bits to make an engine, anyway.
Moving on from the last lot of repairs, I have also been tinkering with a few other small issues, in preparation for a potential WOF check.
As mentioned in the previous update, once I noticed the engine wasn’t happy, I began looking into how bad it was, hoping it was recoverable.
This may not surprise you, but I have been bit by the Rover SD1 bug.
Just a small but significant update today.
The first step in getting Lucas back on the road was to address the one issue I knew of when buying the car; the lack of a working indicator stalk.
