well today I am embarking on my longest public transport trip.

I am off to Catterick with Docs head in my lap (ooeer!)

Advance booking got me a seat for Â£11.50. On the day is 55quid cheapest Shocked

Anyway I go from Queen street at 13:00, get to edinburgh at 13:49 then on a train to Darlington at 14:00.

11 minutes.

11 minutes isn't a lot to play with, assuming the train arrives on time I have to carry my bag and 16V head around with me, figure out where the hell I'm going etc!

if all goes to plan I will arrive in Darlington at 16:01 apparently.

Then need to wait around until doc finishes work.

Its freezing up here but englands super hot compared to scotland so I'll be fine.

did it fully sieze up or has it just got the death rattle?

Site Subscriber Joined: 11 Feb 2005 Posts: 2929

it's not siezed,

the No.1 piston is hitting the head. Chris said tha No.1 piston big end had gone.. or something like that.

I'll not pretend to know the full in's and out's of it but it's broke either way.
