The annual inspection was delayed till today. I received a phone call this morning that it failed
After all the work done, it failed on the horn
So I went there and indeed, no horn. Hmmm, I did remove the front bumper, pretty sure I connected the horns again, but worth a check. They were connected. Next step, the fuse. Check location B3..... no fuse. Put a fuse in and voila, it hunks. But it doesn't stop. On to the switch, removed the airbag to confirm the rubbers of the metal plate are weak. Did a short research, read that some solved it with a few washers. So that's the easiest way. I put 4 washers in and mounted the plate back. Now the horn works as expected. Remounted the airbag and voila: PASS
Drove off with the car and at the end of the street; no gear selection
It was still in 2nd gear so I guessed it would at least get me home. It did. Checked it this evening and expected the outer cable to have come loose from the gearbox (the plastic clips were broken, so I ty-rapped it). But no, the cable end popped off. I'll need to do some research on a fix. I don't want to buy new cables as I might need a different length when the V8 goes in.
Also noticed that one of the keys has a tendency to keep rotating in the ignition. Guessing the end of this ignition switch is coming close? Other key seems fine still. The remote on one of them also doesn't function, I hope it can be fixed with a new battery?
So some work to do, but at least I can legally test drive it now
