what have you done to your car today ?

Anything below 0.3V.
It's supposed to collect moisture at 1% a year, and 3% is when you're supposed to change it.
No idea how much it affects clutch feel in these cars though, if at all, even though it acts as the clutch fluid as well. Old brake fluid is just supposed to have a raised boiling point, which you'd only ever really have problems with on a track day. The road is full of cars with ancient brake fluid.

I’ve never had the fluid changed only time is top up on brake pad change, only other thing it can be is the clutch or even the pressure plate
Yeah you're supposed to change it every 2-3 years.
It is actually an MOT failure but they rarely check it
If the brakes pass, aren't binding and the pads and discs are in good condition, I don't think they see any reason to look any further. My pedal is pretty soft and sinks, but even then, nobody's ever looked any further - and the soft pedal has never been mentioned by any tester. I neglected my brakes for a really long time, and it's possible when I bled them a few years back, they were on their original fluid, but for all those years.
You lot with your Brembos are super lucky though - the threads on the standard calipers you get with the FR are softer than an old man's todger. I don't need that kind of anxiety bleeding my brakes.
In other news, I bit the bullet and ordered a replacement headlamp assembly from the @Thai-wronghorse eBay store. Been driving around with my lights on for days and there's no sign of the condensation going. Will give them a polish and lacquer when they're off the car and hope I find the time to fit it before my MoT.
Think it's about time...
When you're driving home and have to do a double take...
Feck me, I reckon seeing Santa this year was more likely than encountering another LC!

Turns out swapping out a dead Pioneer stereo for the equivalent Kenwood is a PITA.
Everything on the Kenwood is different, even down to the microphone jack connector. Faffing around swapping the cage now because the generic universal one that fit the Pioneer like a glove doesn't fit Kenwood (and presumably JVCs since they're the same company).

There’s a surround you can get for the head unit off eBay I’ve got one for the kenwood still a bit flimsy I just put the original back in the end and I’ve got a couple of better head units
It's a double din conversion from Rob Sheldrake, so I've had to reverse engineer it a bit to change the cage. Just had to order some wafer headed screws so they don't catch on the head unit, so we'll see if they work tomorrow
I'm a right idiot. The reason it didn't fit was because the brackets were still screwed to the side of the old unit ?
Merry Christmas to you all?
Have a good one ?
