Another day aother problem.
Spent most of the other night out in the freezing cold trying to get the MK1 to play the game. I'd left it untouched for a while so my own fault I suppose, but an hour of fiddling, cleaning contacts, checking sparks and fuel supply and a major jump lead session had the old girl running. I then discovered the choke was siezed so the lump was determined to self destruct. To help it along - the radiator I fitted recently ( and was fine ) decided I didn't have enough on my plate and dropped it's coolant guts all over the floor. Another two required now as the Mk2 has always lost a miniscule amount since I repaired it 3 years ago.The Alfa has been acting up in the handbrake dept. so I need to get under it again soon. I picked up the transaxle i stole from E-b*y and will be getting it built up and ready to go on asap.
Most worrying is the loss of my garage, a friend going back to blighty in 5 days - I sorted another place out but have learned in the last 24hours that I can't take over until Feb. There's no way I can leave the DS outside so I'm desperately overcoming the language barrier and hunting for another place. Fat chance!
MK2 had been left a while too, I returned the other day to find a flat - but this was vandalism. Swapped with the spare, eventually - the nightmare of location, street construction here and lack of ground clearance when sitting on the rim had me scratching my head a little. ( I've now discovered has a slow puncture! ) BUT - it just keeps going and going.........
Off to find a barn or something...........back soon.
