<hangs head in shame>
...for the first time since we got back in October.
The tax disc in the windscreen expired in October '10. The battery still has some charge - it's been sat with earth lead unplugged - but only just enough for the starter to chatter a couple of times then grind around once. With the jumpbox on, it spins happily, and fuel can be seen bubbling through the filter, but not even a cough. It's on points & condenser, so the points may just have stuck or need a clean.
...once I've cleared all the Allegro doors & wheels from around it... <lightly puzzled grin> Been back that long?! I bet you wonder why you came back to this country sometimes

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Jameswallace wrote: Been back that long?! Yep, late October... Amazing, really. But then we think about exactly how much we've done since we get back, and it's almost a wonder it hasn't been longer. We spent a month just running around and trying to figure out where to live, before taking a four-month winter lease on a holiday cottage in Herefordshire. We didn't know that part of the UK at all, so spent December just wandering around and falling in love with the area. So we spent January house-hunting. Then I had to spend February running backwards and forwards getting our own (empty by then) house ready to sell. And here we are at the end of March, with the winter lease over, a house purchase well advanced, and a house sale hopefully getting close... Where the hell did it go? Quote: I bet you wonder why you came back to this country sometimes You may very well think that, I couldn't possibly comment... Seriously, a fresh pair of eyes really brings the good bits of the UK back into view.

Re: What did you do with your A Series today? Checked out a vibrating wheel - think it should be OK now.  Fixed the rear light and front headlight (intermittent on off - usual earthing and change of bulb) Got the AZU and the Solexes fuelled up with spare cans of various mixes ready for La Tchanqua Deuch '13 which starts tomorrow on the Bassin d'Arcachon.  Can't wait
