Mine has been like that for the past 5 years as I am too tight to bother with the expense of fixing it. But I suppose if I had a workshop i'd give it a go.

Is it something I can weld, or fill with oil..?I havn't got a scooby doo what your talking about, looks like your well on top of it though so that's OK.
As I said to the doris yesterday, if it needs a spanner or hammer I can fix it, anything with electronic bits on it is serviced by fairies as far as I know.but thats because I'm an old farty.

Probably better to weld it before you fill it with oil. If you want to keep it anyway.

Took her for a nice run out. Over 200mile round trip and she never missed a beat.
Still waiting for it all to go pear shaped

Finally gave up on the problems I have been having with the glowplug system, took it into my local garage, a good lad and he runs a classic himself.
Took him a couple of hours of faffing about, he did get the new timer/relay working though he wasn't sure how !
The warning light on the dash does not come on now, I said not to worry, I can count up to 10 alright.
Charged me €30 so I gave him an extra 10 for his kids for Christmas. Used it tonight, starts sweet as a nut.

Think the old girl is breathing her last. Was loading some things into the boot when I started hearing a horn going off. At first I assumed it was someone else until I clocked that it was my horn. Had to pull the relay because I kept clicking away to itself. I assume it is probably the BeCM that is starting to fail. Which is a nightmare I really didn't need at Christmas.
Only because so far this year, if there are two options she has been the more expensive one. I'd have assumed if the rotary coupler had failed I'd get an SRS fault too? I'll have a proper look when the weather improves a little, I hate working in the rain.
