Did you notice wether the Stapleford lanes were inside LEZ, I have looked on the map and they look bit to close.

Thanks to Mike for today and Brian & thanks to Chris for selling me his cambelt kit (Frank is now fixed) - but as with all landys you find other faults! Whoever (Ian's tyre & exhaust) changed my cambelt last didn't tighten up the pulley! - what a muppet! And when they put my wheel arches on didn't cut enough of the door out! (Muppet again) not to mention the food storage containers made by tuppleware under the bonnet keeping my relays dry (ish)

tupperware ideas good lol

Looks like a good day, pee'd off motors still not Fixed have fancied those lanes for a while, did you get to do the ones at Navestock?
Ian where have you positioned your winch solenoid.

Those lanes look interesting

Anyone know where i can hire a torque wrench (or borrow for a drink) it needs to go up to 330lbs/ft which is pretty high.

Geoff, just gun it whilst you rebuild and once your finished drive it up to Lookers or one of the other commercial places, they will have a wrench and you can get to the bolt after everything is back together. One of my guys thinks he has one but its in his shed somewhere and not sure where, hes gonna have a look tonight but its an outside chance.

Nice one, tell him not to bother just yet, the farm workshop is 20 yards from me, sure they must have one with tractors and combines to fix, dont know why i didnt think of it before.

I bet their torquewrench is a scaffold pole, farmers are not known for spending on bits of kit like that.
