Gear Box woes.

EEeek... maybe an omen

the brakes on the daily are a bit sad, along with the cv's...

OK now I'm convinced. My red golf has lost the will to live. I've just abandonded it at the local train station 'cos it refuses to start. Spontaneous electrical problem - no spark. Combine that with a battery that goes flat in about 8 hours and the fact that it takes only 6 minutes of running to get the needle right off the temp gauge makes this vehicle a joy to own.

That LPG Falcon with the always on headlights is starting to look better every day. The dark side is calling............

golf3 has a spare 1995 2L engine in Melbourne if you want to ressurect her. Or push it into Bass Straight. Dont you dare get a Ford.

I've got a ford with headlights that turn off if you're looking for a cheap solution ....

Couldn't revive it on the spot. So I've just towed it back to base for a looking at. Starting issue looks like it's just the points. I've cleaned them up and I'll see if it starts ok in 10 mins when the battery's had a chance to recover on the charger.

Jodie learnt how to drive a car being towed tonight. I'm all too experienced in that particular area of VW expertise I'm afraid.


I'll get back yo you in 10 when (If?) it starts.

It lives!

It's sort of like giving a 110 year old multiple gunshot wound victim CPR now. It will only live if it wants to. If it's truly lost the will to live there's not much medical science can do.

Might have to talk the next of kin into organ donation at this stage.
