MoT

Passed with flying colours...!

Now all we need to do is the small rust areas around the drivers side seals and sunroof, priced fixed and will be going in early November.

Glen Loth & 41,000 Miles

In the last couple of weeks I've just gone over the 41,000 miles mark, which for this car is some milestone, especially as when purchased last November it only had 33,700 on the clock.

We took a run out to Helmsdale via Glen Loth last week, some stunning views we made that much better by having such a great car to view them from. Windy and wet, she offered ample protection, but more importantly ample room for us to enjoy the wonderful drive in comfort.

Eilean Donan Castle

Went for a drive over to Eilean Donan Castle with Petra, my friend from Germany. Weather a little drab, but in all it was a lovely day offering some great imagery between the odd shower, it was a pleasure to drive there and the time flew by with an excellent performance from Rolfie.

Air Con Fixed

Got the air con fixed, job well done and everything seems to be running nicely.

Will be out and about in the next couple weeks, before minor repairs and the MOT.

Once late Autumn is out the way I'll be looking at Winter housing until next season.

Air Conditioning Pump

As promised my new pump arrived early this morning.

Great service from the Auto Air Con Parts team...!

Hopefully the garage will fit me in within the next couple of weeks to fit the part.

Air Conditioning Pump

June

After collecting her from the under seal job I thought I should fill the petrol up ready for a run out. As I pulled away from the pumps and screeching noise followed by a bang happened.

Discovering no power steering I guessed the belt snapped, it sure had so was taken back to the garage by low loader.

Later that afternoon, the phone call confirmed the snapped belt and also the Air Con Pump had seized, so I've just paid out for another, slightly cheaper than Fords wanted for a incomplete refurb unit at £500+, I got one complete for under £300.

Under Sealed

Mid June

I had the car under sealed using Dinitrol, the kit was nearly £100 but has done the job nicely according to the mechanic who sprayed her up.
