... that the deep repair program on the charger and the top-up of the cells with distilled water may have saved that solar charged battery. I put a charge in it yesterday for a few hours and it was still showing decent volts this morning. I put it back on a conditioning charge cycle and it completed all to FULL! The sun is shining and the system says 14.3V being generated and charging is taking place.
Yes.
Went to look at it.
Very nice example, surface rust underneath but nothing bad or hidden, TD4 fired up straight away with no smoke and sounded lovely.
Thing that put me off was sticky thick oil and overfilled by at least a litre. Guy looked puzzled when I asked about oil changes, servicing and maintenance so I came away before I bought it.
Anyway, checked fuel consumption on Volvo for the 100 miles coming back and that cheered me up , not bad for a 2.4 litre 5 cylinder motor.
It was on 66.1 when I pulled up at home

It’s a shame I wasn’t ready when you were last looking.
My F1 is still going strong, but need to fight my daughter for it now - she loves it and uses it as her daily!
I serviced it just last week for her. Of course, it has a few non-mechanical niggles, which have now been placed on the ‘Dad, can you please look at’ list (a door handle etc.)
You can guess how much I got for it in that ‘sale’ (hint; it starts with a 0, and ends in a 0, with some 000 in the middle!)

Well I have no idea what that stands for, but all I know is that I must be getting a tiny bit better at it.Oh no you have PDDHE syndrome.
Took W's old Pfaff sewing machine in for repair tother day. It had started being silly a while back, as soon as she plugged it in it started sewing all on its own!
So I checked out the foot pedal/control and that was working as it should, so had a squint inside it and reckoned that the problem lay in an ancient capacitor that looked like big, solid old tea-bag. I said to W that if I disconnect it, it'd probably run properly but would just give off a signal that would be possibly picked up by nearby peeps' tellies.
I left it alone but described the symptoms and my possible solution to the repair guy. To my surprise he told me I had very likely got it right and that yes, disconnecting it would have exactly that effect.
He said that with modern tellies it wouldn't affect them but might bother any ham radio operator nearby!
Well, sod's law we do have a neighbour, (not very nearby) who is probably a ham as he has the big antennae thingys.
But no one like that in Frogland which is where we brought it back from. So he's gonna service it and fix the problem with a pair of snips. He doubts he could get a replacement capacitor anyway.
So there I am, with electrical fings. Though yet again this is older tech.
Now who remembers when you had to by special spark plug caps to stop the sparks annoying peeps by making their TVs buzz.crackle/whatever? I do!!
