The RP has been quite busy over the last fortnight or so. A fortnight ago last Sunday, I drove down to visit friends at Llanfair Caereinion, a round trip of 60 miles, been up to the horses a couple of times, been to Llanuwchllyn at the other end of the lake, again a couple of times to get animal supplies and yesterday drove to Shrewsbury to have dinner at a rather nice Indian restaurant with an old friend of mine.
Yesterday was the only time that the car blotted its copybook. I got as far as Montford Bridge, when the car suddenly wouldn't idle. Being late, I pressed on to Shrewsbury, as it wasn't far. The engine was too hot to fiddle with, so my friend and I went for our meal. On returning later , I cleaned the jets and, as I was putting the float bowl back on, noticed that the car was loose on the manifold. A quick tighten and normal service was resumed. Drove the 50 miles home without further incident.
