Brake lights OK as of yesterday evening
Now . . .
I didn't have much time to do anything yesterday stupid thing called work got in the way, all I did was move her slightly to give me access to both sides without encroaching on neighbour's property. Started first crank and sounded her usual sweet self. Then went to work.
Yesterday evening I popped the bonnet, battery level was fine, checked the fusebox, seemed no visible problems & no freshly fried smells, Earth strap seemed fine, no damp patches anywhere in driver's footwell etc . . . checked the fuses under the drivers seat, all secure, as dusk was approaching I decided to check the alternator then call it a day. The car fired up eventually but spluttered and stalled before I could even get out!
Did it a few times, revs dropped down to about 400, engine died . . . eventually kept it running long enough to get out & peer under the bonnet. The clear fuel line to the right of the engine block had air running through with the fuel. more air than diesel. The engine spluttered & died & I decided to call it a day, try again this morning & get some pics of it because I've probably described it very badly.
Anyway this morning it won't start . . .
It seemed like this air in the line could have been the original cause of it dying on thursday. Except after I'd pulled over to the kerb I restarted the engine and it was running as smoothly as ever till the Recovery vehicle arrived 45 minutes later . . .
I'm flummoxed!
And unfortunately the rest of daylight today looks like it will be wasted at a wedding anniversary party with free food and a free bar . . . what am I saying
wasted????
