EDF do its final run on the MT/Rs for this season. After reversed in the caravan in it's winter storage its time to drive home and fit the winter tyres. The thing is it's illegal to pull a trailer with summer tyres if you have winters on the car. But from December 1st its a requirement to fit approved winters, so all have to be done in the right order and in time. Hopefully be back here tonight with the winters fitted.

Started up and parked in the sun to defrost the windows. -7�C outside.
Then when we got on the roll, this little herd came by.
It's like living in a safari park.
This fellow came last, but definitive not the least!
Back home, I shifted the wheels.
Took it out for a spin, feels very safe, these Nokians will not loose grip on ice.
Current milage and 5 degrees warmer 100 miles north of where we was this morning. Supporter and maintainer of EDF - Mrs Edfors' shopping cart. |

Time flies, indicator says it's due for another service
Start with getting the pollen filter out and vaccum the cavity for any debris. 
Old genuine diesel filter with instructions printed.
New filter in place. Looked to get a spare plastic retainer ring, but couldn't find that this is available as a separate part?! 
Air box cleaned of all loose debris.
New air filter.
Loosen the oil filter housing. 
Out with the old and in with a new filter.
And replace the O-ring on the lid.
The hoist gives decent work conditions when working on the underside. 
Would this be a suitable lift height? How big can the tyres then be?
New oil in. Now using Q8 Formula Techno FE Plus oil of the correct specification ACEA A5/B5 and Ford WSS M2C913-D.
Everything completed under bonnet and under car for this time. 
Engine service reset completed with IID Tool.
Have these two faults logged, guess this is nothing we need to care about, or?
Feels good to have another year

Our beauty earlier today. EDF still behaving good, let's hope it continues when we have a longer trip planned in the near future.

Time for our annual easter trip to the north. Here stopped at a burger place about 3 hours from home, in Birsta just north of Sundsvall.
I drove for 6 hours, then let SWMBO have the wheel for 2 hours, before I did the last 2 hours.
So what happened was that this little herd of reindeer was blocking the road.
Eventually had the courtesy to move to the side.
Stopped for grocery shopping.
I go to these commersial fuelling points, just so annoying the filler neck on the L322 is so small.
But at this particular place they have a car sized nozzle as well
Then after 10 hours on the road we finally reached our mountain house. Supporter and maintainer of EDF - Mrs Edfors' shopping cart. |
