Static burn-out!
Eldest of the three 'Miss R's (the voice at the end of the RBW telephone ... and my boss!) observes goings on with 'Mrs R's Saab, hose pipe in hand.
Having expired on it's way back from Lathalmond, Monday evening, we came home courtesy of the AA arriving back at about 03.00 Tuesday. Since then we've fitted a new fuel filter (which took some finding on the car) and then battled to defeat the onboard computer and it's desire to subsequently limit the cars performance. Today the EGR valve's been off and cleaned of layers of carbon /coke which sorted one of it's faults, but eventually we tracked the main one down to a choked particulate trap. Here, thanks to the lap-top, the car does it's own thing ... revs at 3,500 and exhaust glowing like a blast furnace. Five minutes into the performance, the annoying dash-board display finally went out and normality was restored, I gather it's called 'Regenerating the particulate trap' !
On the right is the box containing several hundred pounds worth of re-manufactured clutch and flywheel for the Ward Dalesman.
The Stanways Tiger in the shed should go for MoT tomorrow, but the descovery of a broken rear spring this morning might put paid to the idea ... Tiger single leaf springs are a nightmare to change.
