Drove 300 miles back home. No dramas with the vehicle, a mix of traffic and a full bladder made things slightly distracting.

However, I do think I have developed a boost leak as under WoT you can hear air gushing. Sounds like it is on the left but no visible issues and all joints are connected as they should be. :/

Today I mostly broke down on Dartmoor, clutch pedal to the floor had to drive home with no clutch but hey it all adds to the rich tapestry of life.

Towed the son in laws Transit back to his home, silly bugger run out of fuel(derv). What a job to bleed it, not as straight forward as any other diesel I've ever worked on.

Tried to finish the air con condenser fit and failed. Data say bash it and bend it with a big hammer, so that's tomorrow's plan. Bound to work, it's a Landy after all
