Chapter 3 Karma Running Well
As you may know Karma and me have now been together for about 6 months.
1 day of owning expansion ruptures, overheating etc!
Over 1st two weeks replaced:
Expansion tank.
Hoses.
Water Pump.
Radiators.
Hose.
Cam Belt .
20 MPG
Next 2 months came starting issues:
So a new Starter installed.
Loads of electrics sorted (earth issues).
Serviced Oil, filter, etc
24 MPG
Tune up at the garage and advised all new vacuim hoses needed so on they went
28 MPG
Then we had xmas looming so she only Got a New Tyre and a New Space Saver that Month.
22 MPG (The Cold Weather).
January has seen running issues so new airfilter and a carb clean etc.
30 MPG
Also when the guy fitted the water pump back in august he decided not to put thermostat in.
Today fitted a new thermostat and guess what ……….
Running Hot …………… Lucky I fitted a Over ride switch!
?? MPG
Why ! is this a yearly cycle and is it life with a Mk1 Dub! :dontknow:
