Light rain and a moderate breeze so far
Was going to fit marker lights to trailer today, it's 45 years old and just has lights at the back
Might go LED for rear lights/ indicators while I'm at it
Undecided as to wheel colour, trailer is white
Stay planted all

BB doesn't want to deal with the truthful carnage that this thread would get if it was in AG, more like.
It should, at the very least, be in the gaylanderer section.

That section is too full of "what's wrong with my gaylander", and "how do I fix my gaylander without breaking a finger nail" threads.

Shame that a certain person has come on here to hijack the thread and have a bash at others, having done the same in spades on another thread, which I am sure some of you will have seen.
He obvs wants this thread to be moved to AG so he and his cronies can start bullying peeps who post here over there. He more or less said as much.

Warmer, dry and sunny over here.
Just about to go out and water as CBA to do it last night in the dark.
Need to fish out the paperwork to find out what to set tappets to on the big machine. Not even sure they will be in it.
W and I have had some sort of mix up, wot with her not being in the same country and all.
She told me that dottir brought her a letter from our place there, so I messaged her asking her to open it. Yessdi. Thinking it would be a new debit card.
Well she didn't.
So she did today and discovered it was in fact a credit card bill on a card we don't usually use over here. (Bought summat from Amazon. )
Due payment date? Yessdi.

Took a spin in the Mini, no further instances of "front-firing" (so far) since I changed the dashpot oil to 30W.
Too soon to declare it "fixed", but I think we are getting there or thereabouts.

I find the forward facing marker lights on mine a pain, even though they aren't bright, they keep catching my eye and making it difficult to see vehicles lurking behind them. I don't even know why you have to have them.Mornin

Sideways facing, I would understand, although that is covered by the reflectors.

I have just harvested yet more "haricots verts".
We have so many, (and W doesn't eat them) that I think I am going to try and make them into soup.
Maybe do the same with the beef toms which are suge!

Got a strange experience when I first drove my tratter. At night I can see the car behind and its headlights, looking like the car is coming straight at me from the front. All due to reflections from the vertical rear window reflecting off the vertical front screen. Soon got used to it and don't notice it so much after a while.
Lights on trailers is a simple reg requirement as to what and how many due to length/width, am sure some manufacturers will add more.
I actually like the rear marker stalks on our big trailer, which has markers on the side and the front none of which can be seen in the mirrors, except the stalks.
The big horse box doesnt have the stalks the one before (smaller but newer) had stalks.
Towing or reversing in the dark I like to see where the end of the trailer is, and even if its still there
.Dont have issues seeing real cars behind, I guess its something "you" get used too.

Seems the "mudball" is in a bit of a huff, As I havent driven it for ............ a while. It has decided to let some air out the bottom of 1 of its tyres, why do they never let it out the top cos you could at least drive it only being flat on top.
May give it some TLC tommorow as I have run out of white paint, and masked up the doors and windows today, M is off to town tomorrow so will have a few hours twiddling me fumbs.
I may just have a swim to save fumb twiddling.

Just cleared a small job on me tratter to do list. About a year ago I couldn't get the nut undone on the battery negative terminal clamp. It's a bolt with a conical spacer set vertically through the terminal, so tight it was at risk of damaging the terminal post by applying lots of muscle to get it moving. Any road up, got me digit out and held the clamp with a big adjustable spanner while turning the nut with another spanner. Job done, and done up not so tight this time.

I have to agree about stalks etc. My old box trailer has the vertical posts you use to lock it down with i.e. to stop it moving when parked and being loaded etc. They are right on both rear outer corners, so visible in mirrors, but not annoying.Lights on trailers is a simple reg requirement as to what and how many due to length/width, am sure some manufacturers will add more.

The car trailer has those rubber flexi ones which again are useful for parking etc, but they have forward facing bulbs as does the front.
I mean the rubber light stalks, I dont find the little light a problem.I have to agree about stalks etc. My old box trailer has the vertical posts you use to lock it down with i.e. to stop it moving when parked and being loaded etc. They are right on both rear outer corners, so visible in mirrors, but not annoying.

Just got through most of servicing the big machine, exhaust tappet needed a bit of tightening, cleaned the airfilter as best as poss without getting a new one. Can't find the part number easily, grr!
Spark plug gap was fine but it shows it's been running rich, which I suspected, prolly down to the filthy air filter. Anyway, started it up and it runs much faster!
Just the oil change to do, which needs it to be at least warm. Will do that when I has a bit more time.

I have to agree, if I am honest, it is far enough away to be reassuring more than anything else, but the ones on the front, really cannot see the point of them.
The box trailer has front ones quite high up and they got dead annoying.
I suppose one answer is to avoid driving with it at night!!
