The bulk of road cars use an inert gas in them, as you say to prevent aeration, but one of the other features of this is it also acts as an air spring similar to an Oleo, although not quite.
Shockers cam today, and were fitted.
Old ones were ruined.
Fitting the new ones was interesting, I had to compress the new ones by hand while the top bolt was being fiddled around with, bit of a ballache "literally" but work is done..
The ride is far superior, no longer bounces over a succession of potholes, and it is more surefooted.
The rock and wobble through the steering wheel has been eliminated too, which was a bonus..
Very happy with them..
Surprised the old ones got through your MOT if they were that badShockers cam today, and were fitted.

Oooer matron!!Just been out and given both prop shafts a good greasing. Hasn't been done for about 6months so thought it would be time.
I know I shouldn't be doing a lot but laying on my back and pumping away isn't that hard
No good looking for her she's self isolatingOooer matron!!

Contrary to what i thought those washers are on the right way, if i flipped them i couldn't get the nut on the thread, even after squishing the rubba!!Turn those washers over on the lower bushes matey.
Bacterial growth in the diesel, common problem if the tank is only kept half full. You can buy stuff to treat the diesel and kill any remaining bacteria in the tank Yacht chandlers have it in stock.Pump out

Weird that I pulled the pump and she went into a hissy fit.... fuel gauge fault on dash and she locked me in.
Rear int. handles wouldn’t work either? had to shut everything up lock then unlock with fob and she settled down
Think she thought was being stolen
Can see where the tracks have worn. It’s nice to see the phiysical evidence of the abstract idea I had in my head of when exactly the gauge would play up. View attachment 206009
Behold the cracken !
View attachment 206011 Don’t think this is supposed to be living in here. Like a fungal primordial ooze sorta stuff
No humming or anything when glows are on so guessing motor is dead but might as well try. Connector half way down was a little loose and the teabag filter on the bottom can’t be picking up much cleaning should help FIP pull through bit easier
