Well on top of everything else, range estimate was at 0 so I did a test run to get some fuel. On the plus side I made it back home.
However, the unassisted steering is soooo heavy I barely made it out of the drive
The whole adventure took around 12 minutes and it kept running, so maybe it can make it?
Although I am so worried hitting stuff because of the heavy steering, I may just order a flatbed truck.
Now I know why those 80's truck drivers had such huge arms
Just for info, I charged the battery back to full again, using a smart charger which displays capacity that went back in.
It put 4.8Ah back in. It seems to add up, at 25A draw, that's 11.5 minutes
Looks like I could have made it to the mechanic, if it wasn't for the heavy steering, especially at slow speed. It wasn't worth the stress. RAC charged me only £33 to upgrade to home start.
