Drove her 68mi to Borth for a break..

Half way home the EAS plummets to the bumpstops and the compressor is scalding hot, so i'm assuming it was feeding a leak..

Being that she sits fine without dropping would the next port of call be the Valve-block seals?

From what I understand it'll go on the wobbly if the compressor overheats too many times?

Bastard thing had to drive home 30mi on the bumpstops.

I'm considering it due to the fact most Autogas services in my neck of the woods have disappeared.

From what i can gather from my "brief" looking into the subject, you can have one installed..

There are some guideline's i'm sure, any Autogas pros have any advice?

We have 2 1200 IIRC tanks that supply gas for a central heating..

Are these the same Tanks that can be used if filling a vehicle?

New hancook Mf31-1000 bought!

I get that you're saying and you'r absolutely right!

I might get a solid workshop in the future!

Great work.

Better nick than my comets!

Looks superb

Gotta love the Alveston red!

Yep it is now bubbling like a mofo "more than usual" and it won't charge above 11v!

TYRES!!

lol

Right today after 15hrs it's stone dead again..

The odd thing is though..

The battery is showing 12.4v but she won't turn over..

With the ignition on the volts drop to 9v.

so i'm assuming that means the battery is toast?

If you have replaced everything then the next logical step IMO is tyres..

The tyres on mine originally were "diaphragming" in and out as she went down the road..

The sidewalls were like jelly..

This caused a steering wander and slight play in the steering,

With a new set of Nexans the steering on mine is sublime..

Steaming the old foam makes it plump up..

The switch was definitely off

I'll have to have a look at the wiring..

It has rained a load.

However the interior is dry as a bone as is all the fuse box's and all the connectors I can see..

All are dry from what I can see.

Just been out!

She''s Asleep..

Which is rather odd..

Normally i can leave her for over a week with no issues.

However 2 days ago I used the headlights and Fogs, 2 days later the battery is dead and i have a blown Fog light bulb??

Related?

I've had that bulb blow before, the one being the OSF

The only other thing I can think of is my Drivers mirror ejected at great velocity, i put it back together, if i put the wires on backwards would that cause any issues?

It's only started doing this since I used the lights!

Odd..

Any ideas?

I'm gonna check to see if she goes to sleep when left

How long does it usually take to put them to bed? LOL

Thank you

H

Fantastic Richard!

Anyone ever cut one open to see how the sidewalls are made?

Just curious lol

Check fuel pressure at the rail.

Later models have deeper holes than the earlier models..

It sort of depends where your seat is whether they're any use!

If a short Lass drives my P38 the cupholders are near useless, as the seat is quite far forward she has to twist her arm around to get to em!

Luckily they're in just the right place for me, with the seat all the way back, they're in just the right place!

when i replaced my steering arms i measured everything and put it back together exactly like it was, when i drove it, it felt like it wanted to turn left into every driveway , when i got a wheel alignment it was only out by 22 millimetres? it was perfect on the bench tho. i also done ball joints and that was the wear in every thing according to the bloke that done the alignment.
how far out was your alignment ?

My Alignment was slightly off, it was before the new rod though!

It didn't pull if anything it drove better with the new "unaligned" rod!

After a full laser alignment it drives superb!

And yes it takes stupidly small things to knock it out!
