  • After sorting out the roof leaks and noticing how unreliable The Mansion starts, I resolve those cliffhangers and move on to some more interior jobs, such as swapping leisure batteries around, replacing torn wallpaper, but most importantly chilling out next to the purple-tinted windows. 💜

    Yes, we are. I'm in Rhodes at the mOment trying to sueeze the last out of summer. First week was lovely blue skies, and a yellow sun. Last Wednesday the jets appeared, and it's been relentless. Now got a white sky, pale sun, and the temprature has risen from a nice 25c to over 32c. A heat dome has been created. We got talking to a young' German lady the other day. She knows it all, wide awake. She said things got pretty bad in Berlin if you didn't have the jabberwocky. Keep the faith, we look forward to your videos.

    • @SocksWithSandals
      @SocksWithSandals  วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Yes a fan belt definitely. The solenoid is a heavy duty relay that sends a high current (800 amps) directly from the battery to the starter motor rather than through the key switch in the steering column.
