Well set off from kincardine en route to stewarton as I was staying at my papas last night. Was going to PeterRST's to collect a gearbox & linkage for the S2, text him as I got onto the old a77 to say if be 10 minutes and no sooner had I sent it and the starter motor on the escort engaged and tried to start my already running engine at 3500 RPM!!!! So I text him again to say I'd be late as I broke down.
Bet he thought I was at it!!! Ha! I tracked it down to the wires on the back of the starter earthing! A wee poke with the girlfriends eyeliner pencil saw the terminal moved out the way and me back on the road!!!
Thank fook I carry a trolley jack in the car with me!
Big thanks to Peter for the parts, a loan of pliers to crimp a terminal and his sink for my manky paws after it all! Good to meet you mate!
