====== Breakdowns and Problems ======

So far - since 2014:

  * A loose starter terminal just after the engine conversion (my fault)
  * Slightly loose wheel bearing in [[alfie:adventures:2015_europe|Switzerland]]
  * Flat tyre in [[alfie:adventures:2015_europe|France]]
  * Hole in exhaust in [[alfie:adventures:2016_08_scandi_trip|Norway]] - (crappy Britpart part fitted by previous owner)
  * Hub cap popped off in the alps - replaced with Terrafirma solid hubs.
  * A dodgy fuel pump in Scotland (failed to start on first try a couple of times, but then ran fine and got us home)
  * A flat starter battery after many years
  * £15 eBay stereo started playing up, just a loose connection
  * A very minor head gasket issue which is hopefully fixed now by new gaskets (2022)
  * Handbrake cable snapped in France after LeMans 2023

That's it!
