Back to Hofmanns for an A service and MOT, along with getting a couple issues from the previous work dealt with – coolant temperatures were erratic, dropping heavily under acceleration so the coolant system was bled again and the front clamshell fitting was adjusted to stop the drivers door rubbing when opened.

The car failed the MOT on the first attempt due to emissions, but passed after fitting a new catalytic converter.
