K 39

Post by Philhod » 22 Sep 2010

Started up K39 this morning. It hasn't rum since April and the battery was flat but jump leads sorted it. One of the return pipes had split at the end and was leaking under the plenum, trimmed the end off and all ok. No other issues apart from smoke but that cleared after a few minutes.
The rear spoiler is going to need more work than I thought but that's in hand. I think the battery Gregzee bought last October is FUBAR, but he has the receipt and it has a 3 year guarantee so..... all in all going well. :D
2 of the almost new Hankook's keep going flat so I will have them off tomorrow and take them down to Bob and have him clean and treat any corrosion on those Pug allo, refit and seal them.

Alloys can be utter bastards like that!
There's one on Phoenix that goes flat, but only when it feels like it!

:( It's not the room Bandit, I just can't afford to run 2 cars now I'm retired. and it would be stupid to just have it standing doing nothing like it has since April.
Once the B40 is done and gone as well I may look at picking one up as a project to put back on the road. As long as I got any money spent, back, Her in doors would have little cause for complaint.

Not that it would stop her mind :roll:

I actually fancy a 2 CV or a GSA Pallas. Or a mixture of the 2 [chin]

Well, yeah, the oil gets changed frequently, but I have no actual use for them as such, they just kinda get in the way!
