Currently I am without transportation for the weekend as the Saab awaits a warranty replacement drive shaft. Swapped a while back for a clicking CV but the gaiter leaked grease at the CV end and then split at the shaft end of the outer gaiter.
New gaiter fitted about 3 weeks back and that pumped out grease without 19 miles. Lots of grease.
We decided there may be a problem with the drive shaft since the fully and correctly clamped gaiter seems incapable of retaining a seal.
What with that and a rapidly progressing oil leak, likely due to lack of use, the car is not fit to go anywhere.
I'll have to wait to see what happens about replacement availability this week.
Meanwhile ...
Accuweather suggests that the max temp for Nuffield on Sunday may be 89F. 83F on Saturday.
Sounds like a "take it easy" weekend to me.
Plenty of water and suncream recommended.
Could be worse - the Monday (18th) forecast is currently into the 90s.
So how does Iain, since moving to Nuffield, always seem to get a weekend with good weather rather than traditional UK downpours?
Answers on the back of an iced-lolly please ...
