Saturday 26th July 2008 Valence d'Agen - still working on the car

Cloudy mainly, a few showers of very light rain and long spells of sunshine. Mike started work again on the car, taking the fuel tank off. After lunch I gave Mike a hand to finish emptying diesel out of the tank and sticking bits of one of my green kitchen mats on the areas of the tank that were showing signs of vibration damage. More hire boats filled the moorings up again. The town was having a night market from 5.00 p.m. until 2.00 a.m. with live music (and British beer according to Roy) as part of the celebrations for the 200th anniversary of the creation of the department Tarn et Garonne. Mike decided that the one bolt that just turned and wouldn’t tighten on the fuel tank fixings would have to be replaced by a special fixing. Roy hadn’t got one so he said to borrow his car to go to the DIY, which Mike did. He brought several special bolts from Weldom. He drilled a hole in the car’s bodywork to accept an expanding cavity wall fitting.
