Due to a grievance appeal hearing over-running I was unable to do that, and @alcyonecorporation (who lives just around the corner) has very kindly agreed to pick it up for me this evening. Would anyone from THE NORTH visiting the FoD on Saturday be able to collect it from Jon and bring it down? Thanks 🙂 How far The North(tm)? I'm going north from me to Peterborough Thursday...

Dave_Q Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Speaking from The North I can advise that Peterborough is about 100 miles short to the official North border just south of Sheffield eddyramrod, mat_the_cat and chaseracer 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Put me down for the custard Cavalier fettling. I love a Mk1 Cavalier. Am I correct in assuming @Andyrew used to own the ‘87 Carlton? I’m sure he will be all over that. Due to the increasingly pessimistic and murky weather forecast I am 99% likely to be coming in the Jag. I still need to book somewhere to stay for Saturday night!

It's only 22 years old and I have only owned it for 19 of them. The Maxi is alive and well but sulking in the garage as it now has to compete with the Mondeo for attention. I wish you hadn't mentioned the Maxi. I got it out of the garage yesterday and it has been crying brake fluid all over the floor behind the nearside rear wheel. Looks like new rear brake cylinders are required. Hopefully the brake linings will be salvageable as they are fairly new. bobdisk, BorniteIdentity, catsinthewelder and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Live breakdown! Iam currently sat on the side of the road waiting for the Carlton to cool down. I got it out of storage this morning and left it running while pumping up the tyres. A water hose blew off, I refitted the hose and topped up the radiator, all seemed well. I have driven 4 miles and the temp gauge went up over 90 so I stopped. Engine is very hot, but the radiator is cold. I am 2 miles from home so if it will restart I hope to drive it the last bit to home.

Zelandeth Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Bugger...sounds like the stat has blocked/jammed most likely. If you're still stuck give me a shout and I can see what I can do to help, though if you've already got someone on the way not likely to be much more I can offer.

Six-cylinder Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I am home now. Absolutely no help from the RAC after 2 hours, just text messages to say they are too busy to attend to me. All the thanks to Slowsilver who turned out at zero notice. Then allowed me to tow him in the Carlton at reckless speeds with him having no ability to slow me down even if he wanted too! It was decided not to punish the Zafira and we put my Chelsea tractor to work instead. I think I heard it complaining it needed a pampering full valet after that activity. I hope we can get the Carlton going where it is or if not a quick tow to the FoD over the weekend.

Ghosty Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Saturday's going to be interesting for me as it turns out I'll be arriving at the FoD in the Accord. And at some point, I'll be leaving again on a collection mission and returning with a different car. chodweaver, Six-cylinder, HMC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
