I think I might repair this.

 

It's a motor off a mobility scooter that the mother bought very cheaply. I can see why now, I think it must have been underwater. Prices for bits aren't cheap so I'd better clean it up, at least the bearings are common and very cheap skateboard ones that I already have at home.

Cleaning isn't my forte :(

About right now.

 

Some may have noticed the high odometer reading on a previous post, that was from a bit of playing that created a headache that took a lot of investigating to correct, the short story is Oscar has two chips in separate places to record distance and they can only be easily modified upwards, now at last I again have about the correct number showing. 

The trip meter is accurate 503 km using a bit less than half a tank, much of that (way too much) has been driving around town barely warming up but a big chunk was a trip to Innisfail to buy some vitamin B12 and smell the flowers. Oscar is a very economical car on the highway, extraordinary actually, Google Peugeot 307 HDI if you're cynical. 

I've also found that I've been saying the unpronounceable Peugeot name wrongly as Pug-a-lot, it seems Pay-Joh (named after the greatest ever Premier of Queensland no doubt) would be more correct but I'll have to train Jimby's tongue and swallow some pride to do it.
