John
woke with some more ideas of tests to could do on the stove. Neither of us are inclined on spending AU$1000 or 2 weeks to get a new part from Spain.
June and John called as
we haven't been posting on the blog or map page….
We took the control
panel off and cleaned it of Australian red dust! And found what we
thought was a dry solder joint so we re-soldered it. Also discovered that
the pump was leaking air, may have become loose from all the lifting
up of stove yesterday. Anyway after those repairs the stove worked!!
We drove into town to
order a tyre but could not find Michelin today. Bought food (and finally found some rubber bands)as John
is cooking lunch tomorrow for Monica and her mother, Patrico, Santiago and Ignacia, and their parents and Maria and her mum. No not
in EC but in the Kitchen here at Cabanas Barros which has a basic industrial kitchen.
Heated soup for
dinner in 10 minutes….
