I'm not sure yet... I'll see how he runs with the new alternator on, hopefully it'll be a yes!

His battery's charging now *drums fingers* gotsta gotsta wait

You could wait for the battery to charge.

Or you could push start him

Hanna Just informed me. You need Petrol And battery power to get freddie running well D: . Strange strange car * Shakes head * She also just finished lubing him up

[Hannioli]

oi you!!


hehe well I was quite worried about how he'd run on the way up to london today

i started him up after I'd charged up his battery, he stalled after I tried starting him up the first time, but then i didn't keep my foot on the throttle or have the choke out Then I tried starting and keeping him going whilst revving quite a lot, his battery light kept flashing every time the revs went right down

left for london today, started him up and drove him the 3 miles to the sainsburys petrol station, had to keep his choke at least a little out to keep him happy but after about 2 and a bit miles, he was fine and running better than he was before huzzah!
