E55 LBR the parallel project

And one year later!!! I had to buy a new battery charger as the last one was only knocking out 10.6 volts so bought one that would go into conditioning mode when the battery was fully charged. The Y10 was an obvious candidate as it had not been ran for a while so after a few hours charge we started the engine up and gave it a nice long 15 minute run up unfortunately inside as it is jammed in behind all those Appias! anyway managed to get it to run quite smoothly at tickover with the choke in and the temperature gauge in the centre by putting the heater to max (on even had the radio on) this meant the radiator fan never came on until the engine was switched off. Result! it even got to move under it's own power for about 6 inches real progress.

Update!
Managed to source a new windscreen and still looking for a new screen rubber. Hoping to get the sills and screen surround welded soon and then get the new screen in so the car can be used.

Now I am retired the excuses will be harder to come by, however moving house is always a good one but this time with a benefit of being 5 minutes walk from the unit, but not till November. Anyway I came into the possession of a variety of Y10 spares including a few TURBO ones, let me know what you need and it could appear at the AGM.

If you have a brake fluid reservoir cap with the low fluid warning system intact that would be welcome as mine is broken and being highlighted as an advisory on the MOT.

No spare cap Sorry.

No progress on the Y10 as work, moving house, fitting extra doors to the unit, etc etc have got in the way. Hopefully we will be moved by the end of October and I will endeavour to get some work done on the Y10.
