Sadly, and very much to my embarrassment, Ruby decided she did not want to take part in our journey!
All packed up and checked over several times in the last few weeks we got out onto the drive and I thought, just go round and check the lights and indicators……..and no rear indicators.
Spent a couple of hours checking all the wiring for continuity and still nothing. Whilst turning on the ignition, the fuel gauge failed and after switching on and off it came on then off. I then noticed when I switched the lights on a with the ignition off the fuel gauge moved to half full.
So there is obviously something more sinister happening in the ignition system.
I spent another hour trying different things but got nowhere.
So sadly my tour around England and Scotland got as far as the end of my drive
I am truly gutted and somewhat lost for ideas, but Ruby was returned to the garage and we are now in our first stopover in the modern.
Rectification is for another time.
My sincere apologies to those who had donated and to those who had offered to meet up along the way.
