We're almost ready to go. All the hotels and ferry are booked. We bought a CB Radio on Ebay, hopefully we'll be able to get it working. (Better get on this David) The car insurance is finally sorted.
The car is looking well good. I've been driving it since the beginning of Feb. David put in a brand spanking new radiator and new brake pads. The brake pads were a nightmare to change. What should normally be a quick jobby took hours to do and involved a heavy duty grinder and a trip to the breakers for a pair of callipers. Damn those rusted screws!
As for the radiator, the old one leaked and we could have got by if we filled up the car with a few litres of water every few hours. However, the lazy programmers didn’t want to bother with that, so we invested in a shinny new radiator.
Yesterday, Ryan changed the oil filter, oil, air filter, fuel filter and pumped the tyres from it’s current state of 12Psi to the correct 33Psi. We’ve also added a whole bottle of diesel injection cleaner. As I stated earlier, the car is looking well good!
Next step, spray the car…
