Motorway Service Stations Calendar - April

This time it was a close one.

#thegreencavvy never made it to Rustival as a week before the temperature gauge went into the red after a little local run about.

We changed the thermostat (3 times), flushed the engine, changed the water pump, replaced 2 hoses, took out the radiator and flushed it but each time straight into the red after 1 mile of driving.

Went to wire in a fan bypass switch and noticed the alternator was kicking out over 18volts! Swapped one 43 year old alternator out for another 43 year old alternator from PCT and back down to 14v.

Had a 15 mile test run to Wisbech and all seemed ok.

This left us 2 days to get the 4th stop on the Motorway services calendar ticked off, so after finishing work at 6pm last night me and the legend/idiot that is Martin Drummie set off for Corley North services

205 miles later and the most expensive burger king I have ever bought later and we got back home at 22:44 and she was once again perfect.

Let’s hope that May's visit to Stafford Services (280 miles round trip) is a little easier and less rushed!
