couldnt test that, need 2 pairs of hands!! i checked the connctions battery, starter etc & a slight bit of play on one connection but nothing to complain about tried again & she started let it run for 5 minutes & tried again.. this time nothing even when conncting the jump leads to the digger.. anyway both batteries are off & 1 charging starter is off & all is ready for a trip to my friendly auto electrician tomorrow!!

visited auto electricain, he tested the starter which was seized.. he stripped it & the 4 gear wheel things had no bearings left... he said ive never seen that before....

Trust you to have a car with a never before seen fault. Have you been driving it along on the starter to save diesel?
Interesting for the starter to be intermittently seized but as long as you have it fixed so you can get back to work.

if i didnt have bad luck i wouldnt have any
no work for a few days ive a lot of estimates to get done....

Just do what all builders do, suck your teeth and say "it's not gonna be cheap"

usually i say no problem...
however the official company motto is
Pedicabo si non eam nos sic reficere nulla alia possit
it dosnt translate exactly

I thought over there, they sucked on a Gauloises while debating if they could be arsed to fix it?

non smoker! & im not french...even if i have gone a bit native

A bit native? Hmm, I've never met a British builder whose company motto was a quote from St Bede and that in spite of my not being far from the Holy Island so I'd say very native, very native and a little Eric!



Admit it, you're Cantona and you've been pretending to be a British builder called Rich.

Or, Clouseau is still alive and well, and building stuff!
