More Tolly Tinkering

#1 Post by Lord Tolly »

Well today the weather decided to play ball so out I went to play on the little white tolly

First thing I did was to give her a damm good servicing and flush the cooling system through with dubious quantaties of filth coming out of the hoses.
Eventually running nice and clear I filled with fresh antifreeze and a new thermostat

Then I replaced the missing nuts and bolts that somehow dissapeared on the way to Luton last week.

After this I then degreased the enitre engine bay removing 30 years of crud.

Then a strange thing happened whist adjusting the washer jets.
somehow the pump and the wipers have now stopped working :cry:

oh well another job for another day

by the way craig(beerfertoo) what does those 3 relays on the dash do?
and are there any more fuses apart from the obvious 2 on the car??

Nope.... car electrics in the simplest form 8) If you're lucky.... there'll be 4 fuses under the cover - The 2 'lying down' are the active/live ones, and there's also a couple of holes to hold 2 spares... which is nice :thumbsup:
