I'm in the money.....

Well, The rest of the money for Otly hit my bank account this morning fresh from the Alps and still smelling of warm ink. So it looks like the sale of Otly is official now. It is soon to have its new life in loftier climbs with Christopher Robin and Alice.

Mind you, I'm unable to leave Otly alone even though it's no longer my concern. One of the niggly problems has been a slight popping on the overrun. It was suggested to me that this might have been caused by a damaged diaphragm in the Zenith carb's economiser (not a word you'd usually associated with Land Rovers eh?). I can't let Otly go without knowing if this is the case so I've ordered a new diaphragm from Zenith specialists Burlen Fuel Systems. I've done this because every repair kit I've ever had from other sources has included a diaphragm that simply didn't fit. I'm hoping this will prove better.

We shall see.
