Ok - things are not that exciting. In the last couple of weeks the Daimler has needed a new battery. So I went to Halfords to buy the most powerful battery that would fit, with a 4 year guarantee. The logic of the powerful (and hence expensive) battery is that older cars often have starting issues, so plenty of oomph seemed like the right thing to do. The reason for a 4 year guarantee is that when I have had classic cars in the past the short journeys and infrequent starts are hard on batteries, so I hope that if I kill this one off in the next few years I can have a replacement.
On a more expensive note I took the car to a local garage to get them to check a petrol leak. I had suspected the petrol tank, but hoped that it might be a rusting pipe or perished rubber. They confirmed it was the tank. So does anyone know the best place to get a new tank? And I know I need a fitting kit, but what else do I need?
