Definitely would in the Hyena … whenever a butterfly flitters past the vent-pipe the fridge blows out.
Yes, it’s time to pull my fridge … again. That and fix the odometer.
However, as of this morning, I have a more demanding gremlin of the electrical persuasion!
Starter made one turn this morning and stopped (but did disengage). Nothing since - no click, no engagement, just the whirr of the fuel-pump when I turn the key. Time to break out the multi-meter and go exploring.
Then at lunch today our microwave staged a dramatic death - complete with light show and smoke {I have removed to the garage before my wife comes home}!
So, I’m just waiting for #3 to land … hopefully before I’ll go crawling around the Hyena with the multi-meter this evening …

In the good news category … my “new to me” LT35 Dokka Kipper should arrive in Halifax, NS on August 07.
