Oil change completed
A couple of weeks ago I left you with a cliff hanger - I had found a vacuum pump extractor that worked, I had successfully removed the extra oil that I had accidentally put in, but the glow plug solenoid was no longer working. Last weekend I finally got the chance for a good run at finishing the job. The first task was to find out why the solenoid wasn't firing. This ended up taking me a couple of hours, not because it was difficult, but because of the time it took me to get all the necessary bits and pieces together. My multimeter has normal probes, so to test that the push switch is working, you've got to press the probes against the two contacts on the back of the switch and then press the switch itself. This requires 3 hands! The answer was to get some croc clips and attach them to the probes. The problem was, I didn't have any and no shop in Scarborough had them either. I ended up having to drive out to Halfords to get some and even then they were hidden behind some...
