vulgalour Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 It's important when you move house that you prioritise your time and money carefully. That's why bf and I are trying to arrange a viewing of an Old Car that's moderately local to see if it's what he wants. Well, we've got space outside, might as well fill it.

strangeangel Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Early start this morning... it was cold last night, so I went round wiping the BX's windows while it rose up. Good job I chose to give the headlights a bit of a wipe today, because the glass fell out of the N/S one (luckily, into my hand)! A quick clean and judicious use of 5 minute Araldite saw us on our way. Whatever would we do without Araldite? I can't even count the number of things (automotive or otherwise) that I've either bodged or permanently repaired over the years. Best get another couple of packs ordered... xtriple and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Be a little bit careful with Araldite though - it can go a bit funny in sub-zero temperatures, as I found when I used it to fix the Innocenti headlight. It has since been replaced by Tiger Seal. strangeangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohdearme Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 This ain’t what made me grin but some back story as I’ve been good Samaritan-ing tonight. Popped to Asda to put some air in tyres and ended up helping two young lasses in a mini that had boiled out its coolant and needed help to refill it. They’d carried on driving and it had got so hot it kept stalling out so they’d parked it in Asda and then plucked up the courage to ask me for help as I was finishing up on my tyres. I said I could help fill the coolant and then they casually mentioned that was great but it doesn’t start either now Checks revealed no mayo from the oil cap and dipstick so I think they’d just heated it to a head warping temp and it had given up. Got some coolant in and massaged the pipes a bit to get things flowing and then got it running and bubbling out airlocks with a bit of revs and eventually got it to hold at an idle, then stopped and restarted it to make sure it would and sent them on their way. Telling this to the missus on arrival home, I was bemoaning the lack of a proper gauge to see the engine temp like on a good shiter car...She then creased up crying with laughter and I shit you not, she said that she thought the ‘temp’ gauge in the 323 was to tell her when the inside of the car was a nice temperature (!). Apparently, when she gets in she whacks the heater up full and when the temp gauge gets to the middle to tell her it’s warm ‘inside’ the car, she turns the temp down a bit. I think I might have to put her in lease cars... RobT, HarmonicCheeseburger, barefoot and 19 others 1 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I've done quite a bit of reading on the subject but it doesn't seem to stick anymore, just getting (got) old I suppose. It was 'my' subject for the year.. along with that other great 'cheery' one - The Haulocaust! I am still utterly amazed at how such a thing could happen.
