Bladder and Wind Problems

When Milly arrived back home the next day we decided that we would take her straight into Kath and Bills garage to get her electrics sorted out a soon as possible. Lucy opened the gates and I heard her shout "Steve's coming out!" I couldn't see him anywhere so I looked at her questioningly! "Steve's coming out" she repeated. "WHERE?" I shouted. as I was becoming agitated. "From the bonnet" she replied - "STEAMS COMING OUT!!" Ah! Steams Coming Out! Oops!
A quick check under the bonnet revealed a distinct lack of water in that bottle shaped like a nuclear reactor. Probably just an air lock through me not topping it up correctly. No problem there so I filled her up and thought no more about her leaking bladder.

The next day we decided to check out the roof size by me lying on top to see if I could fit. Interesting! Discussing the various problems and difficulties of making our own was proving to be a challenge. Thinking about our visit to Gloucester we were surprised how good the pop tops were but just too expensive! And the high tops were not as spacious as we thought! Back to the drawing board.

Mike came round a few days later and fiddled with the wires but still couldn't get any of the gauges to work so the instrument panel would be something we would have to replace. He did rewire the fuel pump and sort out a few minor electrical issues. While looking underneath the dashboard he was holding onto the steering wheel which suddenly came away in his hand! Shit! When he pulled the horn cover off there was no nut holding it onto the splines of the steering column! That would have been interesting a few days earlier at 88 miles an hour!!

We also discovered when rummaging underneath a hole in the back exhaust box which would account for the strange noise she was making from her rear end. So that would need changing. The next evening when Steve was fitting it he noticed that the centre exhaust box was also lacking in metal! She also needed a middle silencer box as well to control her wind! Milly, give us a break please!!
