Undocking sequence initiated.

Lets get this baby on that road!

Power Cut

I fried the £5 inverter for charging phone and laptop yesterday! The bit that plugs into the laptop touched some metal in the cab. Spark, smoke, dead! :(

But using a piece of copper from the starter and some strong tape.. Yey, I have telly and phone still! Dead starters are good for something then!

Paypal on the other hand are... Hmmm, Lets not go there!

New starter held in post due to payment issues!
Grrr!

I'd like to thank everyone who has given help and support with my engine problems. Special thanks to Damion, who called me from the states and talked me through diagnosing what might be the matter. And Kate, who put me in touch with a friend of hers in Lux, called Adil, who has been more than helpful. The response to our call for help has been outstanding!

Thank you all!

The Instigator!

This is what a gardner starter looks like after being tinkered with by an old slav trucker. Complet kaput!

Slight Detour

Broken down in a lux services. New starter is on its way!
