turned up at hers after she text me this morning to pick it up at 7 and not the agreed 5pm.
started to talk to her, and she started talking jobby. bloody woman kept on talking at me..... all i wanted to do was look at the car not listen to a load of old waffle.
opened the car and instantly spotted a small area of rust on the inside A pillar by the windscreen seal, popped the bonnet to see if the engine was cold like i asked and luckily it was. had a good look around it before starting it up.
then...............................
nothing...................
bloody car started up and died......
turned the key again, cranked over but nothing fired into life.
fuel gauge was well below the empty mark. so after going out and getting a jerry can of fuel that i had to borrow from her, i then find i cant get the fuel into the car as she had no nozzle for the can.
so made a makeshift funnle from an empty milk bottle. filled it up and nothing. still wouldnt start.
so i checked the leads and all four had a spark but only quite a weak one.
i tried again but nothing.
so i cracked off the blead screw from the top of the filter and cranked it over and no fuel came out.
got into the car and turned on the ignition and could not hear the fuel pump prime. GRRRRRRRRR!!!!
even though the battery was cranking the engine over very fast i thought that i should try to add a little mor juice to the old girl, added jump leads and hey presto she started up. took the leads of and it wouldnt fire up. strange how a strong turning over engine wouldnt start without the boost.
so with the engine running i took it for a spin, wow what a car, so comfy and blinding ride and road holding.
got back to hers and then proceed to look over it.
