Help at the Roadside
Stuck at the roadside and you
are looking for some advice. Check the following articles.
Firstly do try and do something to help
yourself; only call the Recovery Service if you really have to.
Most of the breakdowns are
either fuel or electrical and can be found, and solved, reasonably
quickly by following the advice in the relevant article.
If you have heard banging and
clattering noises, found a hole in the side of the
block, or a pool of oil forming underneath then it is a recovery job!
Do feel free to copy these
articles, laminate them, and carry them in your 'Seven'.
First a warning:
In the event of a breakdown think road safety; have you got a hi-visibility
jacket for yourself and passengers? If so wear it. Can you place a warning
triangle, or a person safely, back down the road? Make sure you collect the
triangle and person afterwards.
Testing Electrics on an Historic
Car
Of course, you will
not be able to fix the problem if you do not carry the tools and spares.
