Hi all
Well spurred on by Mathews Topic below mine, I had my 24v Out and About last weekend (24th and 25th September)
Firstly I finally fitted a New HP Pump belt, and tightend it up.. This finally stopped ALL squeaking that the slipping belt was dooing.. Some of you may also recall a charging problem.. I have fitted yet another altinator, however this is still only giving 13.9v when cold, dropping to 13.5v when shes warm.. however, this weekend she did not give me an ounch of bother..
I still had the odd click on first turn, but on the 2nd or 3rd turn of the key she went.. so I - well, we, had great pleasure driving around Saturday afternoon and Sunday in her and she didn't miss a beat - YAY!!
Id be quite interested though from you Mathew, how many miles do you get from £50 at £1.36 a litre please..
My next few jobs now are to clean up the HT Leads, Ive found some red ones, tidy up the engine bay, clean up the front rocker cover again.. she needs an oil weep sealing anyway, re-fit the engine "Cover" if you can call it one.. and fit the proper HP PUmp to regualtor feed pipe.
Cheers for now
Paul
