Hello & Help

Great news!

Didn't take many photos, here is where we started :

 

 

 

Although it looks unloved, I did roll it back and forth every few months to stop the tyres from flattening. The roof and rails, etc were stored elsewhere and are perfect. Battery was disconnected. There was a cover over it but it got eaten by mice (a warning I ignored !)

 

The boot and bonnet release cables were stuck solid, so I needed to free these up. With a new battery installed the ignition would light up, fuel pump whirring but would not crank. It was a wire behind the speedo that a mouse had chewed through. Also discovered headlights not working due to similar damage on the loom just behind the heater controls.

 

 

Once fixed, MOT'd, cleaned (mostly spider shit and acorn shells), taxed.

 

 

It is getting an oil/filter change this week, and there is a CV joint boot/cover that needs replacing.

 

Just in time for the summer to be over......
