Back in Harness

Well the Chimaera got through its MOT just fine, simply requiring 2 new number plate bulbs.

I have been using it regularly through the nice weather alternating with the Tuscan. However I did note a slight hesitation in the engine, which gradually became a stutter and then quite significant "driveline shunt" when moving slowly in traffic. Seeking advice from RPI they identified the distributor as being at fault and so I replaced that with a new standard unit costing £179 plus fitting and now the car is running great again. This is one very quick road car as the tuning modifications make the power very useable on country roads. It does not have the presence of the Tuscan but still gets lots of admiring looks and favourable comments.
