Hello Francis :wink: ... Happy Boxing day to you sport :P ... he didnt say Felt Bush although there is also a felt bush on the column, the felt bush is on the mk2's + Mk3 inside a piece of tube welded onto an upstand which is bolted to a piece of angle on the column, but in the video he refered to the a Fibre Bush,.. but he was meaning was the rubber disc that has 4 metal tube inserts in and links the steering column to the rack, this was also on the Mk2's+ MK3's, it gets too hot as it is near the exhaust down pipe and then deteriates and needs replacing as it gives play in the steering, I think can be replaced with a golf one, but they are still available from the usual spares peeps :P I am sure you would have seen both the bushings I am refering to .. I cannot speak for the Mk1 as I dont have 1 and i know the set up is slightly different on the Mk1's ... but you dont have a Mk1 either :D ... thought you may pop over to me at some point to sort the other thing out Francis ... Or I can come to you .. didnt want to leave it up in the air like it is....
Love to all Francis :wink:

Great video, lovely car, well presented ("adequate, as they say"!)

Not in the club- boo. The production numbers are also a bit off.

Roger Moore is still alive, so perhaps someone could ask him?
