Put over £80 of go-go juice crude in it :(. Been a bloody long time since I've spent that much at the petrol station  :(
FTFY. ;)

Bought and fitted a new electricity container for the Battlebus.   The charger's inbuilt test 'dangle berries' function was claiming it only had 28% capacity left on the old one.

Hopefully all the electricity won't keep leaking out of the new one :)

Sounds like me waiting in for Nigel from Nottingham on sunday after he said he was interested in my 3.2 estate and was coming to fetch it after saying numerous times he wanted it.. it goes without saying it's still here. and the part that really gets me is all he had to say was it was too far to come and it wasn't worth his time but no not even a call to say he couldn't make it.

Give Steve at Omegaspareparts a shout assuming that it's a definite breaker... He's a hop, skip and jump along the M4 ;)

Done nothing to the car but did put the scrambler back together. Took it for a test run, I'd forgotten what a blast it is. Power band is either on or off and it won't forgive you for being kind to it.   ;D

Fixed it.  MAF had decided it had had enough. It was a cheap egay special nasty one, so I guess I was lucky to get a couple of years out of it.

Original now back on.

I think the original MAF is fine, it was only swapped while chasing other issues I had at the time.

Washed it yesterday. Hoovered it this morning. Might give myself a treat and drive it to work later.  :)
