Bang,crash,bump.....senior moment !
Discussion
Started up the S3 today to give it a little run,the first one after being away in the US for a month,I was aware I'd already charged the battery.
All went well for a mile or so and then,just after a corner,there were metallic sounds,rattles and bumps of something hitting the floorpan.My first reaction was that the exhaust had come adrift but the sound hadn't changed so I limped slowly home.
Lifted the bonnet and,oh dear,I see the little battery charger, or what was left of it...the cable had touched the exhaust manifold and been burnt in a few places and the end with the 13 amp plug on had been flayling around making most of the noise and all the pins were bent.
Think I'm getting too old for this messing about with old cars game !!!!
