Various goodies arrived from Coastal Motorhomes and after tracking down some 15w40 Mineral oil and waiting for the rain to stop, it was up on the ramps.
After a suitable amount of faff and more oil spillage than normal (rushing to beat the rain), Rudolph has fresh:
- Oil
- Air filter
- Spark plugs
- Mileage 58079 (4251 since service Sept last year)
The fuel filter was changed before our August holiday.
The centre pin from the dizzy cap fell out when I popped it off to access the lower nuts to the air filter housing. I put it back in, held by a blob of grease and the van fired up and ran fine – it didn’t catch instantly as it normally does when warm so a new dizzy cap and rotor is inbound.
I also removed the tape from the headlights and realised that due to work being done on the house, we’ve not been away since August!
