Stopped Volunteer driving in March as in the vulnerable age.

Left the inside light on for 1 week. That saw the battery off. As reported else where the new battery from carparts4less was delivered on its side. Not good DHL!
No satisfaction.

Always leave the hand brake off to keep it free.

Having got the Volvo battery every thing has been OK, except for a very slow LPG leak. I have a Honeywell gas detector but still cant find it. In 4 months its...

The clutch pedal is at the right height now and after slave, master together with clutch plate, spigot bearing, and pressure plate is as good as is has ever been. So pleased. Bill £850 ouch!!
There was I estimated only 40k left on the plate. Experience has shown it goes to k180.

The MOT was about to fail on CO2 on LPG. Got the screwdriver out and took the mixture screw...

Bump all must go garage where stored not available in six weeks now going at reduced prices.

Pedal when to the floor. Push rod over reached

Unusual failure of high mileage Volvo 245. Get a new clutch plate now, gear box out!

I noticed that just earlier the nr side indicator suddenly stopped working, so as I thought about the next move why not bulb replacement.


I noticed that both the running light and the indicator were flashing together. AH! short through the double filament...
