    Can’t wait for a year of viewing! From memory I’m sure the rev limit triggered with the clutch pedal switch. Dip the clutch a couple times and you should get it over 3k at a standstill hope this helps 😊

    Manually lift the speedo needle and see if it revs. Something from the memory mists of time tells me there was something I worked on that had to see the actual speedo needle lift from zero rather than see the signal that actually lifted the needle before it cancelled the stationary rev limiter.

    Was astonished how well the Reliant went for on da bay :) I might sell mine O.o Was running a bit rough on the tickover as the damp and wet got into the leccies but a good spraunce with some WD and its running like a champion again, got to take the dizzy out to change no 2 spark plug but I will paint pen a mark on rotor position and dizzy position, great little car but I fear my after market seats are getting near their end so looking for a set of grey leather MX5 tombstones. Bought a brand new stereo for it yesterday... £5.09 ebay, plays MP3's which I shove in its hole on a micro SD card, also got to replace the rear seat 6x9's and install a set of undershelf fronts to get some decent sounds :D

    bit of a coincidence, misses was drive home day before yesterday in our 60 plate volvo xc90, lady pulled out and gave a glancing blow to the drivers side bumper corner, pushed misses up onto curb. bumper popped, scuffs, few cracks, wheel arch trim scuffed, plastic headlight has a cut across it. other driver admitted liability. got a cash payout of what i nearly paid for the car. its due a radiator, so when i do that i will give everything a bit of wt and dry, then a buff and should look 90%. we agreed on a payout within 2 days.
