No it didn't work. Back to the drawing board.

What have done with your Series 2 in October

My 109 broke down yesterday! First hiccup in a long time. Pulled away from a junction late last night, changed up to second, accelerated, then changed up to third and then nothing. It was like I’d switched off the ignition.

Coasted to a halt. Tried a restart, s turned over quickly, but nothing, not firing at all. Noticed that the heater had stopped too, and it wasn’t running when I turned the ignition on.

Checked fuses and found the top fuse blown. Replaced with a spare that I had in the car and all came back to normal.

Now the question is, was it just an old fuse, or is something shorting out! Time will tell!

Yesterday really! I finished making the locking mechanism for my new cat-flap and attached it to Lottie. Very pleased with how her rear end is looking now  :-*

I drove my 109 FFR to my workshop for storage. Then booked my unregistered (never been registered) 1964 88 in for its first ever MoT. About time I registered it as it has been waiting long enough!

Fitted a pair of wing mounted mirrors to the 12 seater and changed the diffs to 3.54's. The 200tdi is not being thrashed now at 60 ish.

Not really with my Series but for the two of them.

7.5 kilograms of the most commonly used fixings freshly sherardized ...



… and put into neat little stacks to stow away.



So from now on, whenever there's something to unscrew and attach, I'll have the proper nut or bolt at hand - properly sherardized  :cool.
