A little more work on Dorothy..
As the weather has been nice,it was time for 1 of those to do with better weather jobs..
The plastic casing around the fan had broken and on start up made a loud sqeaking sound..not nice..
Not a major job but well worth it..the replacement casing has much improved Dot's noisey start ups,with a slight tweak on her tick over,she is now sounding lovely..

Not good,Dorothy poorly..
Just when I need her,she develops an issue..blue smoke on a run and a thirst for oil..😢
Hoping valve stem seals and not more serious like rings..an engine removal and strip down will hopefully tell more..
So without a daily driver at a time I need a car the most,the plan is to get Yolander,1 of my 55 estates on the road..Dan has offered his help but 1st I must get Yo to the new barn where she can be worked on..
Only time will tell how quickly this will happen,the move of 10 Dafs plus 1 or 2 spares will take time..😕..

Poor Dorothy,I'm sure the daffy mechanics Dan/Matty will hopefully sort her very soon 🤢.

I know Nick..😢..just trying to kid myself..😣
Dot due off the road as she needs lots of tlc since her return to the road,Yolander up for a return as she doesn't need as much work as the rest of the girls..
Just need to get Yo to the new barn 1st..
