We went to see dad and between us we have come to an agreement to move him to a residential home in Milton Keynes.
We took a risk leaving Burnham on Sea at 16:30 yesterday afternoon by taking the M5 and the M4. Remarkably, apart from a few solwish bits, it was perfect!
We did drive through the mother and father of all storms around the M5/M4 interchange though! That was the root cause of the slowness; not the traffic!
So now I'll soon be needing to hire a van to clear Dad's old bungalow ready to hand it back to the Housing Association...
Very happy this morning to have been roused from my bed by the postman clutching a package from Geordieland... It was the new fuel pipe for Robyn's 207.. The dealer, Robin and Day, were the only ones in the UK to have the pipe in stock and they very kindly posted it to me free of charge
Top dealers! They charged exactly the price listed in Servicebox too!Stunning
The pipe was easy to fit in the end... Here's the pump end seen through the access hatch under the back seat:
The pipe was quite easy to fiddle out once disconnected from the pump end...
Here's the damage on the old pipe...
Looks like rats have been nibbling it
It may well have happened when Robyn was at Guide camp last week and the car was parked in grass for a few days..
Here's the new pipe installed;
Whilst doing the job I spotted a screw in one of her rear tyres... That explains why it's been slowly loosing air recently...
The wheel is presently with our local tyre place having the puncture repaired...
