Well, we decided to buy an older classic car – a 1985 Jaguar Series III XJ6. No, there is no rhyme or reason to such a thing.
As one would expect, this is fraught with danger. And today the Jag has returned from its visit to Keith the auto-electrician.
My wallet is lighter, but Lucas, Prince of Darkness, is closer to being fully exorcised.
Work done (and this is actually a good list – not really long at all):
- Fixed horn (didn’t work)
- Fixed central locking doorlocks (worked intermittently)
- Fixed air conditioning (didn’t work)
- Fixed heater (didn’t work)
- Fixed radiator coolant sensor (this is the bit that stopped me taking it out for the doctoral consortium) – (worked too soon!)
- Checked cigarette lighter (circuit’s live, lighter’s busted)
- Checked cruise control (contact’s good, module busted)
Just in case you were ever thinking of getting a slightly classic car…
Ah, but it looks good, so we will forgive it some sins (including appalling mileage):
