Phase 2 commenced.
There's now a crying girl with her mother just in front of me on this carriage.
At 6am.
Welcome to Swansea.

Intense driving, mate it on time, train cancelled 😱😱😱.
Through Cardiff instead ....
 
At least I can pay for parking now 🤣🤣🤣

Pretty pointless trying to hide what I'm buying so:
4:44am
Poo count 1, hopefully that's it but who knows?
Let the games begin.

Did get some brekkie but will refuel when I can.
 

And after a nearly 2 month spell without rain, it's pissing down.
 
Of course 🤣🤣🤣

Why do I say these things?
Poo count 2.
Suspect due to this hastily eaten brekkie. Coffee bags just 2 years or of date but they are GOWER coffee bags which I'm guessing is just normal coffee bags put in a pack with Three Cliffs Bay on it and a 50% premium. A view I can see with a ten minute walk. Still, they've lasted well and do make a nice coffee.

Does feel clearer now.
Stopped raining too.

Is this what heroin withdrawal is like? 

I'm really sorry for the prolonged outage. The server got borked in several interesting ways for unknown reasons.

The site will be doing ol' Whores-Drawers dance for a bit while I fix stuff properly so apologies for that.

Sure I've told the story a few times before about the mk2 cav DERV estate my mate and I picked up that was somehow still mot'ed and it didn't look a lot better than that when we collected it, it was even that awful terracotta colour as well.
This was 1998 though 🤭🤭🤭🤭

We recently had huge issues with a Ricoh printer in that whatever you tried, it a wouldn't print.
After discussing with the useless Ricoh support team they came up with a solution, just don't print in colour 🤣🤣🤣.
Bear in mind this is an industrial printer worth at least a grand.
My hp envy I've had for 15 years or more can print in colour AND email pictures 🙄🙄🙄🙄.
 
But then I did give about £50 for it brand new.
One thing made me laugh with it.
"I've got your usb printer cable as well sir for an extra £15".
"Don't need it mate, it's wireless and I have one at home anyway"
" Sir it simply will not work without a cable to set it up"
" It will mate, it even says so on the box"
" Well, I'm telling you it won't "
" I'll take the risk"
"Well once it's out of the box that's it, you've got no comeback then as it's effectively used and I can't sell you the cable at that price, it's on discount and it will be £25 after you leave the shop"
" So my statutory rights of 30 days don't count on printers then? Yeah thought so".
Cock.
I didn't need a cable either 🙄🙄🙄.

So there's a group of people in their office having their heart strings tugged over one of the most undesirable-to-ordinary-folk vehicles out there? Good to know 😆
In light of that email I'm now fully expecting adverts to start appearing on the telly as follows: "For just £2 a month you can make a difference by making a contribution to provide everything this Sierra needs to prevent any undue suffering" 

I shouldn't tell you this but relays are very easy to bypass if you just want to check?

Remove and leave it in a bag full of silica gel sachets and or rice first.
As said remove top cover and take a quick look.
Sorry haven't watched the video but I'm assuming you've checked the basics as regards starter motors etc?

Yeah I didn’t have the leads with me today. Thought they were in the tool bag but didn’t realise until I was there that I didn’t have them.
I’ve got the Haynes BOL and Rover workshop folders. I’ll go through them again later or nearer the next time I’m able to go to the car.

Get a good jump lead and connect the earth terminal to a decent rust free point on the body, that should bypass any nasty rusty bits.
If it still doesn't turn over then, can someone put up the starting and charging circuit page on the Haynes manual and I'll try and guide you through it.
To test a relay, find the coil (usually a box with two lines coming out of it) and look for some sort of resistance, not buzz tester, but ohms.
If that looks ok, check the sets of contacts on the relay, again there's usually a drawing on it showing n/o or n/c contacts, check there's high resistance through n/o and a good circuit (low resistance)through the n/c ones, gives you half a chance.
