to my trusty and (almost always) reliable Mk1.
Steering pump is playing up (since I had belts replaced) and there is something wrong when trying to start - sometimes it does, sometimes you will just hear a click, or hear the engine trying to turnover but failing, or the starter will disengage and you hear it spinning - sometime a combination, and then it will fire up.
But to put it right will cost more tthan the car is worth.
So I have bitten the bullet and amd getting diesel Rav4.
Picking up Wednesday.
Scrapyard for the Mk1 next Saturday - goodbye dear friend.
