More Starting Woes....

Just 12 months ago we fitted a new starter motor after some weeks of problems, again we have a starting issue.    An intermittent problem, sometimes no issue, sometimes a turn or two of the key, other times help (jump start) needed. With Daisy running so well it is a real pain, never sure if she will start or not.

Several meter tests, forum "posts" and e-mail advise all point to the battery and or charging. The battery is just 18 months old, but states "4 years guarantee" on its side.... we will see!, Time to spend a little more time cleaning leads and terminals along with getting rid of some of the old wiring that there is so much of!   

All seem to be confident that`s not a "major" issue...... time will tell!     

First Big Run 2012

6th April and the first "Big Run" of the year...... 300 mile round trip to Elveden Centre Parcs. It was a shame that Daisy would be left in a car park though. 5 hours after leaving home we got to the Parc, a long time you may say even in a 1975 camper full to overflowing with bikes and holiday tat, but a stop to pick up my dad, a stop to drop off Beau, our Westie, and an hour in a traffic jam did make for an extra long journey!


The return leg was a little quicker, topping 65mph at one point, as the miles rolled passed we turned our thoughts to the Summer and some "proper" Camper travels!


As ever, Daisy ran fine and seems ready for the fun ahead!
