Thanks Steve.
Electrics all good now.
One of the rear hand brake cables snapped in October & was replaced with a new one. When they took her for the test drive another cable snapped, so to save money was replaced with a 2nd hand one.
I called Ethan & he couldn't get a cable for a month. 
mrmr2 has a new cable & my friend at Stopmaster will fit it for me.
 
I was thinking the other day,  she has become a sort of "project" car for me, lol.  The main difference is that things get replaced/fixed when they break.  Where most of you guys "decide" to do the things & know what other things are good to change/fix at the same time. 
Have spent too much on her now to let her go.

I wouldnt say that. A lot of us have some kind of problem/failure that snowballs. Ive done handbrake cables, speedo cables, speedo drive gears, driveshafts, wheel bearings, hubs, had to rewire front lights, alternator, starter motor, kills a supercharger and snapped a crank. Plus lots of other little bits n pieces.

Hand Brake all fixed now.............................Next thing......................
 
Clutch has been not quite right on & off for a couple of weeks, mainly when she is cold.  She was due for a service anyway. 
 
She needs a Slave Cylinder.  Is there anything else I should get them to check / replace while they are doing that.  The clutch itself is only about 18 months old, so that will be ok.

Just need to check the slave cylinder is not leaking. Even giving the clutch system a flush with new fluid may help.

The problem is that the slave cylinder is leaking.  He topped up the fluid so she will be ok until the new part arrives in a couple of days.

Maybe you should consider installing a turbocharger? it may help with some of the issues you are having :D
