Good! Thought for one moment there you needed Kilroy's unpatented starter relay modification!

Yep never guessed the jump leads wouldn't be able to flow enough current for a 1.3 marina, I had just assisted in starting a friend's diesel merc. I guess boosting electrical power is one thing and turning over an engine entirely on the leads is another different matter :think:

Cleared out the back of the 7cwt Tardis yesterday to fit a rubber mat that I had acquired.

Went Yesterday and fetched a Truckman top for my pick up. On the way back stopped at Gaydon, had a very nice afternoon looking round. Found the BL prototype stuff very interesting and had a good look at the pizza delivery van first time I have ever actually seen it. In the new building you can look down on the workshop some very interesting old rebuilds going on including what looked like a 1920's chassis sporting a straight eight with inboard finned front drums and front wheel drive, not got a clue what it was.

Opened the boot lid and spent two hours bailing out the water from the seal leak. All my tools etc.

There a distinct possibility looking at the technical drawings. There was nothing by of an explanation, as it was on ramp being worked on were able to look down on it.

Looks cleaner in the photos than it actually was!
