Which still hasn't burst into flames after being owned by me for 15 years and being 54 years old.

Now if that isn't tempting fate, just don't blame me when you end up on the local news with the headline "shite camper van sets Norfolk ablaze !"LynehamHerc wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 4:01 pm Which still hasn't burst into flames after being owned by me for 15 years and being 54 years old.

Top marks for this young lass.

Tried some turd polishing tonight.
I mean it couldn't be made any worse?
Hold my beer!
What I was trying to do is get the lacquer off. You can scrape it with your nail and get to the base coat in much better condition.
Wasn't particularly successful. Even tried sanding it. Started at 800 grit and went down till I ended up at 320. Still wasn't making much headway. All I managed to do is smooth off the rough lacquer. Maybe I should try that so I get a fashionable Mat finish.
Anyway I went back to what I know best after that paintwork disaster. Fixing the incorrect fuel gauge.
Removed it.
Took the fuel gauge needle off and moved it roughly by eye to match the coolant gauge at rest.
Put it together and tried gauge sweep again. Pretty much nailed it. While I think of it, the coolant gauge was slightly out and not quite at the middle.
Oh well. Good enough for now and the fuel gauge is more important.
Just watched this TT go for cheap. Third time relisted and gone for a sensible price. Irritating! Would have been much more what I wanted and a price that would have suited.
Oh well. I'll buzz about in the Focus for now and possibly sell it after an MOT. Probably could get £600 for it I bet.
Now under my new (£60 B&M clearance) gas heater, watching the stars and drinking a beer.

Indeed. The heater is quite warm and I needed to use up the remains of the BBQ gas so I can get a replacement cylinder.
Cleaner burning that a open fire pit though.
