Title: Thanx Karl! Jonny5 is up and working again!!!
Post by: Wizbat on 03, September, 2008 - 23:08:39
Hi to everyone I met on sunday.
Repairs to J5 are all finished and I,m going out for a test run tomorrow.
I got a bit carried away tonite and have stripped down just about every bit that moves and cleaned and lubricated the lot.
I now have a battery strap that is long enough to go round the monster battery, I used the old battery harness that I got with the car so it all looks how it should.
thanks again and cheers to martin for the wiring advice!!.

I was a bit sleepy and brain dead when you called. 8)

Glad to hear you're back in the saddle again mate.

You've got a really nice C5 there, it was worth the effort sorting those little snags  ;)

I took it out for a run after I got it all back together and it really runs nice and quiet.
Did martin mention the problem I had with the axle bearing where it fitted into the new motor mount? I had to glue the bearing in with araldite, I,ll see how it holds up over the next couple of weeks.
Just got to figure out a nice sympathetically fitted stereo, Got to have sounds when on the move!!!

If the araldite fails,let me know I'm sure we can sort it   ;)

Have your mates stopped badgering you to borrow it yet  ;D
