Sorry, felt like crap last night so didn't do owt. Have plague! Well, man flu anyway...
Oil - yes it has, although it has been low a few times but not too bad. Now you mention it though, I do seem to go through a lot. About 2l in 6 months anyway, that normal?
Battery - Its a sealed unit, can't seem to get in. Hadn't actually thought of that, but my old one had plugs to refill it. This has none?
Earth strap - not checked, will look tonight.
Clutch is indeed cable operated.
Battery - no idea on age. However we tried my step dads charger on it (with 180 amp booster!) and it still wouldn't work. Did seem to get to turning over quicker though, rather than just trying and not turning. Just still didn't fire.
You both live round here then? I know Gramaisc drinks in the Kings though so should have guessed! I'm on the Sandon Road,
here. The second pin (if it appears) is my garage, which you have to get to round the back. Gardens like bloody narnia, seems to take forever to walk down in the dark!
Which reminds me, time for another thread.....
