Essex lanes

I recon we can get the painting done over a couple of evenings.

I'm I Bristol tomorrow but hope to be home by 6 so that a couple of hours daylight, then I am in Southampton and Poole on Tuesday but can try and be home the same time, then the rest of the week should be around earlier.

Can't miss our shotgun rides over the off road course.

Gotta cover shift tuesday and thursday which means I'll be working till half 9. Hopefully will give me an hour on 2 in the mornings. Then leaves me with monday and wednesday night plus friday morning.

Well what a crap day so far....... went out this morning to start the landy to go off to Clacton and collect the waffles but it wouldn't start.

Slow to crank, and then nothing.......

So no waffle boards today Will try again tomorrow. Battery on charge at the moment. It wasn't in a position that I could jump start it either

I recon he will appreciate that dan there's quite a few bits and bobs that need doing before the painting

So after a little faffing.... still dead

The battery is defiantly good. Earthed the - straight to the engine and that didn't do anything. Checked plugs round starter which were all clean and shiny.....

So pulled the starter off and took it to the local motorfactors to have a butchers. Should call me soon and tell me if thats ok or not.

is it dead totally?

I had this happen to me and I dug about found one of the plugs on the fuse board under the steering wheel was lose, pushed it in and a way I went.

The oil light is still out.....

Right. 2 sets of 35mm square jump leads together to make 70mm square and a jump start off an old Volvo estate and we have life

The starter has had a refurb by the local motor factors. All armature and brushes sorted but that didn't seem to do anything before the jumpstart

Will try tomorrow and see what happens! Brian, I'll let you know about the battery either way.

Any good to your chris

Now I do like to see commitment That'll look good if you cut back between layers. I've got mates with the old vw's and a lot of them are hand painted and they look better than a spray job after cutback and polishing

Keep going! Can't wait to see what it looks like.

In other news... It seems like it was a lazy starter causing my problems. Been out and started it and it turned over first time

Matt you got any 6mm breather hose left and one of those manifolds?

Yes.

Cool I'll take a manifold off you please.

Looking good with the paint job Chris,

been a bit of a **** week so far, plans seem to be going up the swany, work is f****** me about, thak god I start another one soon.

One good thing, looks like the oil light is still out, so it looks like it was the pressure switch. Looks like I may have a small leek from it now, will have to try to give it another tweak up.

Try getting a spanner on there and doing it up some more or failing that, I don't know whether we tried my offset ring spanners?

I haven't had no issues with the oil light coming on since changing my oil.

I also collected the waffle boards today, they're at work at the moment while I clear some space here.
