Nothing too much to write about other than the Corsair saw regular use from September to November 2021 when visiting the workshop where the VW Beetle we have was being worked on – See this link to the WordPress blog about the story of our Beetle. It was running nicely even with a blowing exhaust. I had purchased replacement exhaust manifolds before Christmas but hadn’t found the enthusiasm to fit them, yet as there is a problematic bolt on the offside that I know about and, at the time of writing, ignoring it for now.
Over the Christmas break I did get around to fitting the new oil pressure switch and rewire the loose brown wire that had been attached to the coil at one point. For the first time in my ownership (remember since March 2000) the oil light on the instrument panel illuminated when the ignition was turned on! The weather had been very damp from there on as well as the roads being generally filthy so it hadn’t been driven since a short run before Christmas.
