Hi guy's. :roll: :roll:
Well I'v had my wee car on the road a few weeks now and I still cant stop smiling as I'm driving it. It's BRRRILLLIAAANTT fun.
I'v had a bit of bother with idiots moving it and breaking off the tail pipe but since I installed my hi teck security I've had no more bother.
( I'v got a wheel clamp and a dummy security cammera trained on it from the bed room window with a warning sticker in the car.)
I'm having a bit of bother with the car and hope you wise lot can give me a few pointers.
The other day the battery light started comming on, faint at first, then a few days after it died compleatly. I took the battery out and left it charging in the house for a day. I put it back in the car and it started no bother but the battery warning light stays on.
I had a look at the altonater belt and it may be a bit slack but have not had time to take it apart to see if the rings to alter the tension are there or not.
Could it be that the altonater is knackered ??
The whole engine could do with a strip and clean but I'm reluctant to take it to a garage as they may not be familiar with the car and tend to screw you over any way when they see you are female. I once got charged for tracking for front and REAR wheels !!!that was the first and last time I took my car to that garage.( AMS in Paignton, devon) And NO, I didnt pay the bill untill they ammended it.
I dont know if anybody in the club is near to doncaster but I would love to compair the engine to another aircooled. Mine has a multitude if wires on crockadile clips that dont apear to be serving any purpous, some come from the starter moter and the other end is clipped to the tail light wires on the insulated cuvering. Very strange !!
There is a guy on ebay offering to import parts so I sent him a question as I need an exhaust, air filter (not one at all in the drum) and a oil filter.
This is the ebay link.
