Huge thanks to Ex taxi al, Chrisgixer and Steve @ omega spare parts
« on: 06 October 2012, 01:33:44 »
Kinda ran out of leccy on the way to work this morning, as described elsewhere :-[, but the OOF network sprang into action and by home time I had a spare alternator at very reasonable cost, and someone to follow me home in case it all went wrong. Elected not to do an alternator change in the rain, and chance it on getting 20 miles home on the battery. Just made it, but it was good to have a few backup plans in case it went wrong, so thanks, guys. :y

Too close to curry time, was it ;D

Good on the OOFers who managed to ensure Kevin Wood got home, and got him the parts to keep him out of mischief this morning :y
