Welcome Back!
| If there's a T-bird in the garage then your either sick, broke or missing the time of your life.
Get out and ride that Bird.
The Tbird arrived June 26, 2009 - Speedy was traded in June for a 2012 Bonnie T100.

just got back last week, and she fired up first "kick" , I removed the battery BTW ..cleaned off the crap the other day using that biological de-greaser stuff ..anyways thats my cents worth...
Regards
Alan

As you will see, I'm no automotive genius.
What fuel stabilizer did you use? I have looked around Halfords and couldn't find anything that purported to be a stabilizer. I asked in halfords, but I don't think they understand the finer points of motoring!!! I think they could sell me a barbeque or perhaps some de-icer, but maybe they cut their training short.
Thanks for any info.
Neil
