BLOG CONTENTS: Summary of work done (or to do)

I think I'm pretty much there with the car now (well as far as I can be- given that its a Lotus!). For anyone interested here is a list of everything I've done plus a couple of tasks still outstanding. All of this and probably a bit more, is described on the blog so search for any terms you are interested in and you should find them. In an ideal world I'd put in hyperlinks... but life is too short...
Glossary.
"New" means new parts fitted
"Replacement" means good used parts fitted
"Reconditioned" means part was professionally refurbished
"Repaired" or "Rebuilt" means I fixed the original.

NB The distributor and amplifier were replaced as I chased a misfire although bI could find no fault with them and swapping them didnt help.
