Well am still going..... But have hit a slight hitch!

Driving tonight and lost ALL electrical power - so yes, broken terminal on negative on battery. Of course it's furthest and hardest to get too. And a right royal pain. Anyway all I could do was temporary fix the broken ring terminal tight against the nut/bolt of the battery. So as long I don't drive over any speed humps too quickly, I might be all ok (fingers crossed!)

I was going to head up to Skeggy after the show and back home the next day, but now it's straight there and back to the show.

(That snags list is getting longer! Lol)

Yes, we'll have the body off and engine anf gearbox out before lunch. That should leave plenty of access to the battery.  :D :D

Ahah, fear not, only kidding about the engine & gearbox. ;-)up

Andrew! Don't be so daft  :-[ hopefully you will be able to find a new terminal/terminal's at the show, I use
some neat ones that take the 'eye' ended cable on an M8 stud, liking those because they don't
bugger up the main cable and can be released easily.

Have a great day  :D :D :D

For those that went on Sunday - That was a cracking turnout, really good to see you all and especially to meet up and put some new names and faces to some of the Buggies seen on here.

;-)up


Liz is happy also, as thats the first time we have returned from Stoneleigh with the same number of cars that we went up there with for a long time.

::) :-X
