RSSRobot Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well - went down to RR today to hand over what we both hope is the final payment is the restoration of little Maud after last years incident. Just came of the last roundabout on the A28 before turning into Sandy Lane when there was a big bang from the front of the wife's Explorer and we both saw something bouncing in the road behind. We assumed it was a stone - till we tried to turn right into Sandy Lane..... Steering was bloody heavy! Got to RR & popped the bonnet to find the serpentine drive belt all tucked up on one side of the engine bay. Called out the RAC and it seems we have lost an idler pulley of the front of the engine, below the alternator. :cry: Finally got home at 17:10 hrs - a wee bit later than the 11:00 originally planned!! Looks like my luck is still firmly in the brown and smelly... :argh: Good news was another week should see little Maud finished at last. Take a look at the thread in British Vehicles for the pictures of her to date. The lads at RR have done a fantastic job in the rebuild and I'm really looking forwards to having her back "home". :yay: :yay: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
