A few weeks ago I tried to take the car out of the garage onto the drive, to be met with that horrid sound of a starter barely turning. Not a problem I thought, I will pop the battery charger on and leave it a few hours. When I went back to the car later in the afternoon still no joy. Looking at the charger there was a warning light on that said wrongly connected, replace fuse. So I replaced fuse in the charger, same result. A friend advised making sure the battery wasn't connected to the car, so I tried again - bingo, it started. Great joy and smiling.
One of the other jobs was to sort the MoT - booked and it passed - more joy. I had asked the garage to have a look at the petrol sender unti whilst the car was on the ramp - they checked all of the connections and have concluded that it needs a new sender - the current one has only been in place for 9 months - hey ho.
Whilst on a roll I finally got round to ordering the inner tube and elastic band for the spare wheel - just need a tyre now. And I ordered the lumimition ignition kit - excited about that going on, the car doesn't run quite right, one of the leads has started to break down.
And on drive it Sunday we went to the local market town to pick up a paper and have a drink in the pub. The chap who wanted to buy the car last year is hinting again that he is interested. We will see.
