Chapter 27 -  Breaks (Part3)

Dear Diary...

I am finally fixed but this was only solved today and during the weekend was some bits and pieces happen that I will like to register.

First the good news...
* The Fridge is working :) :) :)
* Leisure battery is getting charged :) :) :)
* New music speakers on the back :) :) :)
* New Gas Bottle :) :) :) :)
* Serviced
* New master Break cylinder :) :) :)
* New Break Cylinder in the rear wheel :) :) :) :)

Then the bad news....
* No money for travel !!!
JOKE !
But all this was a little fortune for a poor man like Dad :o/
By the way...

INSERT COIN !!
(Do I need to tell you why ??)

OK, lets download:

* The Fridge is working :) :) :) 
After many attempts to get this fridge to work, dad was giving up on the idea to have a fridge !
Some other friend looked at the fridge before trying to solve the problem, but this fridge is connected with the gas, so was hard to have an electrician making plumber work and my fridge was no way to start.
Dad lost his temper (as he do with women's ;) He switched all the gas tube connections and clicked so many times on my fridge button that... Voi la... IT work !
The little flame started and the fridge is now working :)
And now you wonder... So, what's the problem ?
and I answer... I didn't work for too long, that's the reason !

here the image of the fridge connections :

The fridge can not be connected with the gas while I drive but dad think the fridge will work if  he connects the electric system which coming from the leisure battery. This is still a mystery to unveil on next chapters ...

* Leisure battery is getting charged :) :) :)

 The Leisure battery was discharging very quick !
After dad friend (Thanks Nathan) had a look at the leisure battery last month, he found that the fuse was blow, by this time, this is not news but this weekend dad found that the battery just needing distillate water !
LOOOL


* New music speakers on the back :) :) :)
Still under last weekend, mum and dad have gone to a car-boot and they found a nice and cheap pair of speakers that can be connected with the IPOD or MINIDISC or LAPTOP or whatever they want to connect !
Anyway, is a nice pair of speakers that doesn't need batteries or electric to work and they have a very good acoustic sound. Here is some Image of  similar  ones (unfortunately I didn't found on google images :o/ dad say, I am very special and everything I have is very unique.. ppffff)

But they are very similar to this ones , only not soo good, (I am not posh anyway !!)

The only difference between this ones and the ones I have, is that my ones extend the tube for a better bass fidelity ;)


* New Gas Bottle :) :) :) :)
 This was a busy weekend...
Mum a dad have been in a camping store and they brought a new gas bottle for me. I have 2, one was empty and the other one was nearly gone, so they decided to get one full bottle as they will have to cook while they travel. I had the bottles from before , they just pay for recharge (£15.00)
Not bad but can be very helpful if you

More paparazzi moments:

On Sunday, dad had a friend around (Nuno Nunes) This is a good friend of us so I had a very serious conversation with him and he helped me out with some of my loose screws :o/

* New master Break cylinder :) :) :) 
* New Break Cylinder in the rear wheel :) :) :) :)
(I dont know why this smiles are about, but anyway !!)

Ketchup... Finally !!
Today dad took me to the garage and they fixed my break issue.
As related on the last chapter, I have now a new break master cylinder and a new break rear cylinder.
I was loosing all my break fluid slowly and was hard to know until the breaks start to sound faulty.
I will remember  this but I dont want to talk about tragedy any more :o/
I AM NOT a drama queen!!!

Time to make planes for travel
 
By now... coins, its all what is left in dads pocket after so much money spent on me.
He keep counting coins, I hope my adventures dont have to stop here because his going bank corrupt !!
IS NOT MY FAULT
I blame the Mechanic !



Hopefully soon...

Chapter 24 - Tyres + Breaks

 Chapter  24 - Tyres and Breaks

Dear Diary...

yesterday Mum and Dad brought a pair of tyres for me.
They took me to the brokers and they paid £40 for both tyres.

Later, we drove to Bristol for a party and too see some friends but I have an issue...
Do you want to know what ??
INSERT COIN 


When Dad arrived in Bristol, he noticed that I was not breaking as usual. After we stopped at a friends house , dad decided to look at my break fluid box and found I have ... NON... NOTHING... was EMPTY... NO BREAK FLUID IN THE BOX !!!
This is a scary situation as dad have put some breaks/clutch fluid on me about 2 weeks ago before we drove to Cosmo Festival.

Dad`s Friend drove him to a garage and they brought some breaks fluid to put on me.

After that , Dad drove to the party and to pick some other friends and then we got back home next day but dad didn't look at my breaks fluid again. He says, that I break, but takes long and he has to keep the distance from other cars , just in case !!!

This week, dad will put me in a garage to change the filters and oil, plus to do a service, as I will have to make a long travel very soon and dad want to be sure (+ -) that all going to be fine.

Dad notice before, I drop some oil , is not much but he never give much attention to this as I am a old van and this is normal in old cars but now, dad is suspecting that this oil drops in not from my engine but from some hole in a breaks tube !!

Dad check my oil and water regularly but he says, I dont use up much oil or water, soooo... from where is  drops of oil coming from?
