Iam restoring /replacing the nearside sill and accessories. What a JOB !

Towed the trailer to its new home today.... Might have accidentally forgot I even had the trailer on the back a few times

Other then that, stuck a new trademark dent in the thing, loaded it up with a few extra toys for the subaru and went and fitted a few bits on that.

Mine obtained itself a new dent in the door but towed the trailer to its new home today. Might have forgotten the trailer was on the back if I'm honest



Other then that, was used to transport a few bits and pieces for the subaru

Took it to Alltrack4x4 in Malvern to have all the oils changed (engine, diffs, transfer box, gearbox megaflush) and drove home in their courtesy MINI!

Tim rang me while I was in Worcester to say that the sump drain tube (the one used by dealers to suck oil out of the sump) was weeping and when they tried to clean it up it disintegrated. My thoughts at that point were, "Better there than on the M5 or M42 going home!"

Replacement to be fitted tomorrow (hopefully) and I can go and get my Rangie back.

Dunc. The life you have is the only one you'll get; make the most of it.

Took it for a service and MOT - all done and passed with no advisories and only £270 all in from local indie.  Geoff

Having recently bought a new TDV8, I found out today that there is a mis fuel filler guard on the diesels and that mine doesn't have the mis fuel guard reset tool

Went for a nice drive around the countryside, came across a milk tanker stuck on a steep hill, decided against trying to tow 20 odd tons of lorry up a hill, I may be a wimp but heck, I can live with that.

Changed my rear wiper on mine, much better now I can see the things I've left in my wake 😂

Made it earn its keep by taking the remains of my old bathroom (including a very heavy cast iron bath) to the recycling centre.

It didn't even break a sweat.

Took B.B. out for a trip to the seaside after 17 days lockdown in Wales finished.

Booked it in for a big service at BLRC over here in Northern Ireland.

Fluids and Filters and we'll get the glove box fixed and some investigatory work done on my drivers heated seat.

I'm bracing myself for quite the bill here...

One thing I've noticed (and I'm sure you knowledgable chaps will put me right) is that sometimes looking over the bonnet whilst driving, the passengers side is lower than the drivers, rarely vice versa... I'm assuming this is the adaptive air suspension doing it's thing? If we're on a flat road all looks fine

New front pads, rust scraped/wire brushed from front and rear wish bones/chassis and repainted.

Failed Portugal ipo on rust, wasn't bad at all but they don't see it out here

cars 30 plus years old look brand new.....

I went full on hunter gatherer'ing to collect some kindling. Macho
