Science lesson 4 - the batteries that were running the fridges couldn't run the compressor as well - not enough volts. The boys checked the voltage on remote terminals from the batteries - reading 7 volts, the fridges shouldn't run under 101/2 volts but they were running. Checked in car battery chart - showing float which means it thinks the batteries are full - finally checked positive terminal on battery which showed 13.2 volts. So everything was fine. It just meant that the batteries couldn't run compressor and fridges at the same time. So hocked up compressor to th auxiliary battery under the bonnet and pumped the $&@@ the up. This necessitated the consumption of 3 beers in order to deal with the stress.
W decided not to buy the pub as it would cost 1.2milion, but are very thankful to Phil the publican who repaired the puncture and we are on our way to Bitdsville.
