Engine Woes

11 November 2006 | Brighton

And so the engine saga continues.... having replaced the starter motor on warranty it now seems that the problem with a solenoid that was not man enough for the job. So we are still without an engine that starts.

Its been a fine week here weather wise. Last weekend we took to Lewes for the fireworks and parades which was a great night although quite chilly. Sunday saw an unplanned bonfire with the unfortunate fire on two power boats at the marina. I've just seen the remains of the boats now out in the yard and they are a mess of melted fibre glass and twisted metal. Luckily nobody died in the incident.
