Snow and Ice gone,fire up the tranny.

After standing for a couple of months under snow and ice the old ford transit motorhome was entitled to feel a bit neglected.
I put the battery on charge for a few hours,primed the pump and turned the key.After a couple of spins it started.I love the old V4's they either go or they don't,none of that electronic stuff,if they go wrong you can usually fix them by the side of the road.It cut out  a bit later as a connection to the ballast resistor fell off as it has almost corroded through.With that sorted the old van took a trip to Yarmouth and back again.
I bought an old scrap V4 engine some time ago as a spare.It had been in a shed for some years and has seized.I'm going to drag it out and see if it can be got working again.
