Why Sunday
« on: June 16, 2019, 08:18:59 pm »
Why does mechanical problems manifest themselves late Sunday afternoon.
Got home from w/e away this aft, wife goes to supermarket and I decide to unblock the garage door by moving the van.
Turn key and nothing....starter motor gone...it's no great shakes but it's a day lost tomorrow probably.
Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

You can hit a starter motor with a spanner, if it’s sticking.
Test your battery amigo.
