Never did learn why. Ran fine until the 100,000 mile warranty ran out. <br /><br />The second battery is still live, so it should be Okay. Sure, I'm supposed to disconnect all batteries before working on it, but that would take a day's work to get to. Part of the joys of it once being an ambulance. The battery is tucked away deep inside the cabin.

So if your battery has been unhooked for awhile and it doesn't run right, have it looked at. I learned to drive Model A Fords when growing up, they had personality.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-40309090031631010692013-07-22T02:14:23.006-04:002013-07-22T02:14:23.006-04:00Ah now I won't start ranting about modern cars...Ah now I won't start ranting about modern cars! Some years ago my wife and I bought a old Morris traveller. I loved that car and wish we never sold it. It was already old then. It always started first time, it was nice to drive, it had individuality and as a very big bonus it was easy to work on. The first time I opened the bonnet, I could see the road around the engine there was so much space around it. I guess efficiency has it's price: it's practically impossible to work on a modern car without a bank of computers and a swish carpeted showroom (used to be called a garage) full of "technicians", I don't call them mechanics. Mostly they know where to plug the computers that tell them what's wrong. <br />My apologies! I did say I wouldn't rant but couldn't resist!!Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844967794207697583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-35137508789014566092013-07-22T01:07:15.953-04:002013-07-22T01:07:15.953-04:00That's the perfect solution.That's the perfect solution.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-73827907790128339512013-07-22T00:41:12.979-04:002013-07-22T00:41:12.979-04:00I've always said that the people who design th...I've always said that the people who design them should be FORCED to work on them before they're put into production.Gorges Smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777621500611603786noreply@blogger.com
