Well a shagged one takes a bit of fettling , ask symes and martin about replacement stem seals  :-X ;D ;D ;D ;D
just like mine did in the end . you can only spend so much money on an old car :y

Nothing wrong with your stem seals?

Small, regular, cheap maintenance can keep an old car going forever, only rust can kill it.
