#1 '73 Series 3 First run back!

Post by Malk » Thu May 19, 2011 6:21 am

Collected my new baby last night. As coming into garage after reasonable 60mile run lights dimming and oil light flickered as revs dropped.

Wouldn't normally panic at this just wondering if normal. Tickover at around 600rpm when warmed up.

Stopped to fuel after 10minutes running and didn't start easily, guess just getting used to small blip on gas or letting pump push some fuel up? Been 20 years since had something classic so got the L plates on for a few miles I guess!

Any tips gretfully appreciated. Also chap in Edgware Middx is retiring i would hope would look after vehicle. Anyone got any ideas around South Herts, Watford, Rickmansworth areas etc. Live in Bushey WD23.

Thanks,
Malcolm
