These past few weeks I had been noticing a very slight tap from one of the followers...
Being the fact i'm skint as shyte, I decided to instead of stripping it down...

Adding some of this....

Basing the premise on the fact their Stop slip and PAS additive work really rather well, why wouldn't this stuff help?

So I scooped it out and put it in the old bus, and it is really thick and sticky as shyte..

I did drain some Oil out obvs.,

The new stuff has made the oil quite tacky.

After adding the stuff I took her out and gave it a proper good run, and the verdict after 30mi is............

She is defo quieter..

Not that I usually believe what these people say i'll be giving it a few days to work...

Signs are positive!

I've used this in several old cars and even an old petrol lawn mower in the past. Got several more years and mileage out of them all

Putting the bottle in hot water helps getting the thick stuff out.

Will that work for constipation problems too? Asking for a friend...

Losing coolant somewhere

no drips underneath or in the cabin!! Coolant isn't pressurising either! Don't think it's going into the oil, only thing i can think of, it's sitting on the valley gasket and evaporating or dripping off while driving

More work to prep for the MOT. Sorted out the washer pumps, rear seat belt buckle... Gonna need to source a new headlamp bracket as the two inboard bolts were completely seized, had to snap one out and just yank the other off which snapped both mounts.

Also replaced the gear surround as my walnut one was considerably more blond than the rest. Now properly matching

From this..

To this!

I wonder if this is related to water getting in the LH heater and getting sprayed about with the fan??

Bounced up the curb again today, no BEEP!
Resealed pollen filter cover too

Returning from an Interview, on the way home "that went well I thought, the car is even behaving" 10 secs later the drinkers side windscreen wiper came off the spindle...

I'm not spiritual at all but i'm gonna keep my comments to myself from now on!!

Driving back from a visit to my ma's, kept throwing a LH-F door open message. Beeps drove me nuts. I'm assuming there's a sensor in the door frame somewhere?

I thought the sensors were in the lock mechanism these days, might be wrong

I'll have a fiddle next weekend unless I get an early finish this week.

Door lock mechanism mate. Check the striker is aligned properly it may have damaged the lock mech'.

Went mud bashing with the two little guys in tow on their little quads, they were filthy. I was nice and clean in my leather seats.

I dropped the tyre pressures down to 1.3bar.. What a massive difference

Looks like I could be talking to Marty in the new year.

Hopefully got to the bottom of a fuel leak. I assume it was from the main spill that comes from injector 1 to the return. I was mistake. I have since ordered some 3.2mm fuel pipe as the 3.5mm I used before was clearly too big and wasn't sealing. Taking her for a test drive today. Hopefully the smell of derv will be gone. My MahPahGah is down so much. Only just getting 300 miles from a tank is killing me.

Jon Dor · Nov 9, 2020

I'd be really chuffed to get anywhere close to 300 miles per thankful matey!
