It was MOT time for PTH so I did a few checks before taking her down for test. I couldn't find anything wrong and neither could the MOT tester and now she has a fresh ticket

I cant believe it's been a year already

$15 for a Z89A filter would be a bonus, as would the other more widely available parts.

A Z246 filter and Havoline 20-40 here!

Can't remember the cost of the filter....

I've got a pair of those for the front wheels, and use the trolley jack under the diff, one of the challenges of having a double garage with a single door.

Rear shoes? No, not on the 575. I will work out the bits you need for that when I get home. Completely different to the cars.
