Erics car Disaster on the way to the national.
After ringing round on a Monday �� to find all my garages. Too busy on Monday..called in favour from a friend who recently closed his business but still has all the kit. So he and I have been struggling with it all this morning 😁. Pulley bolt massively tight took a metre long bar and then a 3/4 drive airgun to get it off. Found the belts both perished so waiting for those to be delivered,so quick rest and a cuppa coffee.��

As of 14:45 this afternoon , Eric was on his way Home..
All sorted with new pulley and new belts Awful job first time .. everything so tight and the Locking tool I had wasn't very successful . and a fair bit of fun feeding the new belt round with only 2 pairs of hands . .. even had to take a day off work , think would rather sat in my office on the PC .. Chris

As Bob has already stated it's amazing how folks rally round to help out others when they are in need and with the help of yourself, Peter, Janet, John, Linda and Brian, Eric has been well looked after and sent on his way home with his car running sweetly. Thanks again to everyone involved.. And we'll all be together again in Holland. Cheers Ian Last edited by Ian G; 25th March 2019 at 15:36.. |
