More engine troubles

The starter gremlin that put the kibosh on my not-quite-lesson on Friday and was then fixed with some (suspected percussive) persuasion from the engineers reared its head again today, meaning a full starter motor replacement. Typically this is just at the time the school’s other 152 is up for maintenance, putting them both out of action and leaving me grounded. To cap it all off, my instructor’s now away for a couple of weeks 😢
