Moved more tonnes of earth than my back wants to know about it. I knew I should have bought a trailer with a tipper mechanism...
Saw a nice convoy of British classic cars doing the Grand tour des Alpes- old jags and MGs aplenty.
And then blocked a utter hedgehog of a Audi driver all the way though the nice sporty bends on the way home. I'd have pulled in to let them pass if they'd not sat three inches off my trailer, honkig and flashing....

Italian plates. We're about 20 minutes drive from Italy if the col isn't snowed in. The Italians don't clear their side rapidly, so that their skiiers don't come to the French stations, and stay at Italian ones instead.

Yep. Cleared a field of our stakes as foals have left the field. Landowner was been an arse about the fencing. Now there is nothing stopping the goats from the other fields going through where the idiot ripped the hedges out.You been doing horsey stuff again, I recognise those posts

We are going to rebuild it and put it back in. If it is too bad then I will try and find a 300tdi and auto box complete.
I did want a V8 but it is not going to happen

Much the same as my old landy, taking the rad etc out in prep for engine removal in the next day or so. Simple job (not for me it isn't, it's a major arse) a clutch replacement, just ordered 100 quids worth of hoses, the heater hoses are brittle and crusty, and the end of the air filter to turbo hose is starting to fall apart where it gets a bit warm. When did hoses become so expensive?

Knocked the earth connection off the wiper motor and can't figure out where it should go back!
Not sure if it depends on the year but on mine - 1985 90 - is to a tag on the bulkhead near the wiper motor. Can't remember if I had to take the n/s dash and top rail off to get to it or got to it from underneath the dash through the speaker hole as they were all off at the time; I think it was through the top.

A good connection to the bulkhead will be fine

Right, then it looks like I'm just patching in another bulkhead earth then. Mine is French, so the wiper motor is behind the instrument panel, making finding anythinng that bit harder!
