I thought I better get the red Bentley out today as it had been sitting since December. Bloody interior lights are sticking on now and for some reason it pressurised the expansion tank but not the top hose so another job to look at. I am also going to have to do the accumulators on the red one as the brakes feel much better on the black one. It is quite handy having 2 of them so I can swap bits around to sort these things out. I will have to try the Michelin latitudes on the red one as it might be tyre noise rather than wheel bearing noise on the black one

Bloody hell don’t tell me you’ve broken my red one now. Now that needs a walk around video.


Less annoying tag line.

The bloody thing needs fixing now ! it has never played up before and I don't know what it was playing at chucking coolant out. The hoses had no pressure but the expansion cap was pissing out. Might of been stuck thermostat or something. I will try and get them down the workshop next week to sort everything out. The interior lights have their own ecu !. They are pretty easy to take apart though so hopefully easy enough to sort and I might get the Black car's seat ecu done as well.

Much interest yet from the eBay ad?

An ecu for a light! Sounds like a fun week in the soldering bench.

Not a sniff yet but the DKW has been on for 3 weeks out of a 4 week ad with not a sniff until the last couple of days where I have had a couple of enquiries. I will do a walk around on the Black Bentley and the Fiat if I get time today. I spoke to the local classic car auction and he thinks he could get them all sold on my reserves but they are considerably lower than I have these cars up for.

I suspect a lot are waiting for national house arrest to end. After 29th March you don't need to pay a transport company.

I expect so I did a couple of walk rounds this morning which take ages to upload but here is the first one.

Complete with coughing and heavy breathing so best with sound off.
