I finally got round to sorting out my latest purchase...bit of a mixed bag !
Most disappointing is that it won't power up
, but the good news is that the pod tested ok (tried it out on "half-pint") so I'll start on the control box next.
In the meantime I gave it a good scrub with some soapy water and was pleased with the results ;
I decided to change the inner tubes, grease the front and rear wheel bearings and replace the missing chassis bolts !!
...it was also missing the shims from the drivewheel !
So whoever was the "quality assurance" tester was obviously having a tea break when this one went through the production line
;
Even though it is "box fresh" , due to the water damage caused by poor storage;
.... my first plan was to keep it as an unused display model (to replace "Virgin" ) - but Angie has her eye on it so instead I'm thinking about putting this one into service. It's what it was built for after all - to be used and enjoyed.
