Amazing cruiser these old P38s..
Amazing cruiser these old P38s..
I was trying to avoid popping the assembly out, but I figured I'd have to, even if it is just to make a new earth point. Ah well, job for after work.
Sad news, sorry to hear that, its affecting everyone, one way or another, on the airport, I always thought it was the safest job going, and its dead, empty warehouses, they are shutting them down, freight is screwedGot made redundant without any payout. Honey will probably be going up for sale

Replaced the replacement under bonnet lights I had fitted a couple of years ago, never really happy with the amount of light produced, still difficult to see the dipstick for example.
So bought a pair of kit car type side lights big enough to fit led festoon bulbs with a decent amount of output.
These are the bits.
Old "new" light.
New light fitting and led bulb.

New track rod fitted today and a complete front end alignment
Old track rod was a right cóck to get off, the angle grinder earn't it's keep
To avoid the tracking going to the dogs, got the rod to the same length as the old one,
In my case it was 54 inches exactly
As you do I took her to work to get an alignment, after a 30min Laser therapy I took her for a good drive to see if there was any improvement, or a new problem!
I'm happy to say it tracks straight and true,
However with every good there must be a bad
On my way home a pheasant decided to cross the road, however because they haven't got a brain it went into mid flight right infront on my car!
The result was it hitting the corner of the bonnet and propelling at great velocity into my mirror, which in turn caused the glass to fly out!
Not only that the bird came in my open window and missing my head by at most 2 CM and landed in the boot
What a fiasco
So i pulled over and got the bird out, was tempted to keep it for sunday but eh
My mirror glass was found in a grass verge and put back in, only downside being it cracked!
All done!

I've had a crack and missed fog blank in my front bumper for years. Had one take out the front right headlight. RRs it turns out, aren't as tough as Ford Escorts.New track rod fitted today and a complete front end alignment

Not anymore you don’t.
There were a lot more Escorts around than RRs, don’t see many 25yr old Escorts toddling about these days.

Not true! They are most predictable - always expect the unexpected as the neighbours love to break out and seek adventure.I've hit a sheep with a Defender, luckily it had a steel bull bar

If you charge it up off the car does it hold charge?
Regulator worth a try if it comes with new brushes.14.5V set point would be good.
Is yours GEMS? I think you can upgrade to the later bigger one.
