You should be fine just check the brakes are free and working, the first stop I would make would be to put some super unleaded in, it's likely that your petrol will have gone off
Number plate LEDs make the car look newer imo
Not sure if you will get away with the side indicators as led or not, I know you can't change the front or rear without a resistor
I live in Hempstead just up the road, I'll be happy to have a listen to your gearbox. I've been wedding for over 6years now so I would say I have a good idea as to what would be normal
That's a long engagement Darren
any pics ? it needs to be quite tight, it's only really for shopping, don't want a tin of beans going through the windscreen and if you put the bag on the passenger seat the buzzer goes off for the seat belt
