So far - since 2014:

• A loose starter terminal just after the engine conversion (my fault)
• Slightly loose wheel bearing in Switzerland
• Flat tyre in France
• Hole in exhaust in Norway - (crappy Britpart part fitted by previous owner)
• Hub cap popped off in the alps - replaced with Terrafirma solid hubs.
• A dodgy fuel pump in Scotland (failed to start on first try a couple of times, but then ran fine and got us home)
• A flat starter battery after many years
• £15 eBay stereo started playing up, just a loose connection
• A very minor head gasket issue which is hopefully fixed now by new gaskets (2022)
• Handbrake cable snapped in France after LeMans 2023

That's it!

Rusty hole in passenger floor all fixed properly. Driver's side needs attention. Replaced a sidelight bulb.

Rusty hole in passenger floor bodged up, passed as advisory.

• Pulled out of the shed after months of standing, started first time and sailed straight through the MOT.
• Starter battery gave up the ghost (after many years service - and being used for short commutes) and I disabled the split charge by accident whilst swapping the new one in.
• £15 eBay stereo started playing up, possibly a loose connection (it was - now working perfectly again)

Pulled out of the shed after months of standing, started first time and sailed straight through the MOT, did the NC500 no trouble.
