Removed a broken solenoid from a 2.5 starter motor and replaced it with a solenoid from a 2.2 starter motor then fitted it to Bob he now starts first time of the key
Then flushed all the oil out of the radiator. I've now listed Bob on eBay
I haven't Hidden the fact that it has oil in the water because I've mentioned it in the description

Fixed my radio's case of "Old Man Syndrome"

Thankfully the coax from the roof antennna has a join behind the N/S speaker so it's a simple job to use a splitter from the CB antenna on the back door. Now using the 5ft CB antenna for reception, rather than the piddly little roof job and I can get all the local stations, better MW, etc.
Unfortunately it does mean I can now get Radio1 again, but you can just push the scan button to go past that

Fitted my new AKAI (type ACAC105UC) car radio which has a USB socket and a SD card reader built in so now I can take all my music with me, although it would probably take a run up to John o’Groats and back to play it all!

I used a pair of “choc blocks” or screw terminal blocks to sort out the power wiring; changing over the two wires for the main power and the switched 12 volts on the ISO connector. (Thanks Vauxhall)

Na the top of my rad decided it didn't like its self and then snapped
so had no coolant
but now it has fresh coolant in so all good

and last night i went over and gave Dan abduction Pete a hand
when i got there they were just about to separate the box
once i disconnected the electronics from it then we got it apart.
and removed what was left of the bearing and carrier (about 6 big pieces)
then looked at the newer one to find the bearing is on is way out. then i left
so Dan has no fronty at the mo
