Slitty= jap 4x4 I think.
Time clock back light on duchess hasn't worked since I've had her, been searching for info on accessing it, what type bulb etc in preparation for doing it when the weather improved. Went out last night in the dark and it's illuminated without me going anywhere near it.

Yesterday's cretinous decision clearly showed I'm now incapable of making sensible ones ¦~{

I wouldn’t worry mike, I’m not old or retired and I’ve made many. The dents in my P38 don’t disagree. It’s just patina

and we will live to sail another day

P38 picked up my 19' SeaWych from Scarborough Harbour. Made STUPID decision to trailer it back to Beverley with mast on. Came off worse with an "interaction" with a tree branch. The stainless steel rigging then brushed the immaculate paintwork of an AUDI TT travelling in the opposite direction. Mr Plod very helpful. Mercifully, no danger to life or limb. Gutted to find that my SORNed XC90 has the protected NCD, but P38 doesn't. WTF!

We all do daft things we regret, all the more so as we get older.

The only thing I did which I haven't done for a long time is adjust the temp down from 21 to LO as it went very hot yesterday.

. Since doing that the back-light started working

.
Mpg bit is still dull on the message centre though.

Don't worry Mike, the man who's never made a mistake has never done anything.

Got a "clack" sound when I brake, OSR I think, just started, investigate when I'm home, nowt obvious that I can see on the side of the road.

Fitted new wiper blades today, to go with the new screen.
Autoglass were fantastic at the glass bit, but wanted 44 quid for a pair of wipers

. Paid 12 on fleabay and fitted them myself.

The worrying thing Keith, is that I'm soon 69 and been making "alternative" decisions for most of 'em!
