After last week's loosening of the top shock absorbers this was the day to rebuild the rear suspension, see if I could do something with the hand brake so that it felt like there was one (!) and do something about the water getting into the boot.
First though, my intention was to start the car up, get it thoroughly warm and move it up and down the drive to make sure nothing had seized. So 12.30 PM, key in ignition and try to start the car. Well, the battery was a bit low, it nearly started once and then the accelerator cable snapped! So it was going to be that kind of day was it?
The battery was flat by now so first job was to get that off and on charge, follwed by pushing the car forward to gove me some space and getting it up on axle stands at the rear.
