That would be like trying to start the 90 after being away for a month.............running the battery flat , bumping it with no joy, jumping it with no joy, and then thinking .........


..........Maybe I should reconnect the fuel pump solenoid I took off for extra security?????:oops::oops::oops::oops:

Then waving sheepishly to the neighbours who are watching you....!!

Cheers.

It's rates job difficulty on a scale of spanners when every eejit knows it should be hammers.

Lol!! That made me giggle!!! Hammers!!!! bit like that Edd China bloke!!! He never has blood dripping off his knuckles or brake fluid in his eyes!! And not a spot of oil on his face!! It's all put on for the telly!! He gets his mate paul to do the **** jobs and he gets the credit. Just like me when I try and open a jar of beetroot.. grunting and groaning twisting and turning and then Wor lass comes over , takes it off me an "pop" the lid is off!!!
I loosened the fecka!!! Grrrr!!! The smug look on her face!!!!!! Didn't have for long!! She was wearing beetroot earrings!!!!

Well... my own fault as much as it hurts to say :mad:
Short..medium..longish version... after making it to Budapest, I had 2 cracked front brake pads and some xmas lights on the dash... good timing, replaced 4 front pads in Budapest. Made it to Romania about a month ago... after a lot of snowy mountain tracks using downhill decent I completely lost a rear brake pad... erm didn't have the parts to fix so had the garage put a bolt through the banjo to cut the brake off till I bought new ones, the caliper had self destructed o_O erm fast foward a bit and my 4 new calipers, 4 new discs, 8 new pads and a hawkeye tool arrived.. great, lets get it to the garage and have them done.. they couldnt do it that day so went to drive back, its like a 5 min drive on small roads..by now the rear brakes had been shut off presumably by the ABS block, and the front brakes were sorta either off or full on. the one time I didn't bother putting it in low range, going down a small road, didn't see a corner and hit the brakes... front locked and rear kept pushing.... over a concrete "bridge" and thats that.. of course this is all on icy snow... -20 degrees. And erm my guess, slider pins on most of the brakes were seized causing the pads to crack... fukin MOT with no advisors before I bought it 3 months ago...
But yeah.. my own fault :rolleyes:
So going to try and get it transported back to the UK, and then find myself another...
