A million things to wash and dry after the great weekend up in Scotland and the weather forecast is for rain, rain and more rain over the next few days. Strange that I just saw a story line about March being a hot month this year! We'll have to wait and see.
We cruised into the Lake District yesterday morning in glorious sunshine and went straight up to the Honnister slate mine. The idea was to get some slate for a couple of projects we have in the planning stage. We stopped by Derwemt Water for a few pics and a van pulled in behind us to tell us none of our brake lights were working. we fiddled around with the fuses but couldn't find the solution. After a while we managed to get 2 working so went on our way.
After collecting the required slate we stopped for lunch at the Water Edge in Ambleside before starting the final journey home. Everything went according to plan until just before Manchester Phil2 decided that 850 trouble free miles of motoring was enough and he would lose a bit of power before picking it up again. We managed to coax him through Manchester and back home after picking up the cats. Strange that if we stopped the engine for a few minutes the problem would go away for a while? Its off to the "doctors" once they can fit him in. My bet is faulty turbo or injector - - - we shall see!
