It's Karma

SAAB as taxi to drop VW MK7 off to get it's parking sensor fixed by the main dealer - that's going to be expensive. The SAAB was visibly pulling to the left whilst I drove so I thought I'd knocked something. Then short shopping trip before handing it over so Jana could use it.

So I took the MK2 out to look at the Alpine and was rewarded by a great sunny drive through the Essex lanes - I did not get lost either - but the car did get very muddy again. It was very busy so I parked up by the dilapidated barn and went in.

To find a very dilapidated Alpine. However there was a lot of new metal in it - the near side sill and door having been done so there is some progress.

However I looked at the bodge under the rear arch. Having seen it in the flesh it looks too poor to leave so I agreed to have that fixed properly - £££. At least the rear fins are ok which are very hard to replicate.

Once back I checked the SAAB and the nearside front tyre was very flat so I pumped it up again. The spit test showed another valve giving trouble after I pumped up everything Tuesday. I tried to fix it but I thought it was still leaking a little.

PM then we went to check the boat in the SAAB - fine - but the valve was still leaking a little. So once back I bit the bullet and took it to Kwik Fit to get it fixed kwickly. Actually they were great 30 mins and did not even charge me. 

So in my mind I was rewarded for doing the right thing by the Alpine anyway.
