Default Re-Test



My car has been away for a week, and has had to have several things done to get through the test, It went this afternoon and because we had to go out won't find out until the morning if I can pick it up, dread to know how much it has cost.
I bought this car because it was in very good condition, there is a saying (All that glitters is not gold).
Will let you all know tomorrow what needed to be done.

Had parcel arrive today.

Been waiting for pipe outlet for the old car.
Will need to take the thermostat out as its failed shut.Its been in 24 years.
The housing is corroded in so will have to be broken off somehow.
Hence new one came to day.

Amazed .

Original box.





Seemed a shame to open it.


All oily covered in grease proof paper.

Today, I managed to get an appointment on Saturday to have a scan of the goooleees, the abdomen and the prostate. I have not stopped walking, still getting out - small walks, 2 to 3 times a day. Just off to bed for an early night
Catch you soon. Send our best please to Lilian.
That's good news about the quick scan Phil, let's hope that nothing sinister pops up on it. My fingers are crossed for you.

Good luck Rev, at least once all this work has been done that should be it for a good while sir.
