Zelandeth Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Sadly with no signs of a vaccination appointment even on the horizon yet I'm afraid I'll have to miss this one. Until that's been done and is behind me by a few weeks it just feels the responsible thing to do to me. Yes I'm probably being paranoid, it's in my nature to be cautious though. richardmorris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t worry, if I stop by on the way to oxford I can bring up goodies and drop the seeds off with my brother in law to handle. He has a cloche thing for seeds before planting out.

Six-cylinder Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 There is still plenty of room for more visitors if anybody wants to visit. Friday - I am hoping IanBMW will fit a coil to the green Range Rover. I also have to move some cars in storage off site. Saturday - Heidel_Kakao Sunday - Slowsilver, Quicksilver and hopefully Andyrew if the MX5 works. Monday - I now think it will be too cold to want to be at the FoD LightBulbFun and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talbot Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 There is also the consideration of course that you could have up to 6 people in one area of the FoD, and another 6 people some 200m away in another bit of the FoD. ... and I don't mean that in a "here's a handy loophole to exploit", just that the FoD is plenty large enough that there could easily be more than one group there.

Six-cylinder Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 What started Quiz! Answers at 10PM Today I had to move some cars around that were in storage and there were 3 not mine that had to be moved. These cars have all been unmoved since last December. The question is what started on the turn off a key, what needed a jump, what was a pain and what never started? 1984 Range Rover Citroen Visa Cabriolet E36 BMW 323i Coupe Peugeot 306 Cabriolet MGF Lancia Trevi Citroen ZX Lotus Elam M100 RichardK, BlankFrank, LightBulbFun and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Answers to what started today 1984 Range Rover – was parked battery disconnected and started with some churning when reconnected Citroen Visa Cabriolet - started easily with a jump – one flat tyre E36 BMW 323i Coupe - started easily with a jump Peugeot 306 Cabriolet - started easily with a jump – two flat tyres MGF - started easily with a jump Lancia Trevi – was parked battery disconnected and no amount of churning would get it going and we had to push it around Citroen ZX – Flat battery and the jump pack was low so would not start. It had upset the alarm and was not keen to jump from a Land Rover. It could have been the alarm we reset that got it going although the immobiliser is keypad and showed green when the number was entered. Lotus Elan M100 – broken when it went in and still broken 4 months later. Mrs6C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six-cylinder Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Today was mainly about the Carlton and it started very well. We added antifreeze, did a few test laps of the field and it drove just fine. Unfortunately it then stated to get hot and pushed water out of the radiator overflow pipe. Checking it had added water to the oil so probably a blown head gasket. @Andyrew also checked for rust on the driver’s side rear chassis as this was an advisory at the last MOT. The bad news is there is rust the good news it is accessible to repair it. So this is how it rewarded us for washing it!
