Update to the list...

So a month has past, how much has moved on the list ???

Well the long and short answer is not very much and certainly not as much as I would have liked...

Things sorted or at least started so far include:
The starter motor (believe me, this was one of the most annoying faults) - it was a sticky solenoid as suspected, but due to the tubular manifold the job was an absolute pain, but after removing the inlet manifold and unbolting the starter motor, we managed to swing it round enough to unbolt the solenoid and clean appropriately.
Front brakes - new discs required, old ones were ridged badly, hence the vibration - awaiting delivery...
Rear brakes - new shoes required and as I suspected, one was sticking. Upon stripping the brakes down, one of the cylinders was stuck. We also found the other one to be leaking so new cylinders all round...

I've also found a couple more jobs to add to the list...
Replace steering rack gaiters
Replace track rod ends

The joys of owning old cars eh !!!
