If you have been following the blog then you will know that Rhubarb and Custard has been beset by mysterious electrical problems. To try and solve these we have fitted a new Odyssey battery of the kind used in Jet Bikes. As well as being very powerful and maintenance free it has a socket for jump starting the car.All the wiring has been replaced and tucked out of harm's way and where it passes through metalwork rubber grommets have been fitted to stop abrasion.
The fuses are mounted on the dashboard and are of the coloured plastic type that are quick and easy to identify and replace.
We have two condensers fitted next to each other - one unconnected for use as a spare. Some commentators say that this is a bad idea because whatever made the first one fail will have also impacted the second. In reply others say, 'Bollocks.'
We have a new starter motor and a new set of spark plugs plus a full set of spares.
Hopefully this will have sorted the gremlins out.
