Admired my new steering box and drop arm and the relatively drip-free drive.

I missed out on a job lot of off road recovery kit on eBay.

Flat battery again. Wondering what is draining it as I have done nothing different to the electrics. Charging ok.
may be it needs more use?
I will disconnect the battery after the weekend.
Put in 60ltrs of fuel and out for a good drive.
Sat on a byway at Stonehenge waiting for friends to arrive

It can only be Savarin White, any other colour and you loose power or it just looks plain wrong (IMO) ...

Pink with a black roof ??

I know the A303 wasn’t brilliant when I last drove it (probably 25yrs ago) but it’s not looking good now.

Enjoy your weekend.

Removed my mates rear steering banana shaped trackrod and fitted a new Britpart one (he'd bought) which was surprisingly good, nice trackrod ends with nipples and a spare rubber boot.
The old rod ends were well settled in the arms but a 3lb lump hammer got them out..

I created a Googledoc/Spreadsheet which lists every part I’ve bought, every piece of work I’ve had done on the truck so far and the cost .

eBay, Paddocks, Exmoor….. when does it end.

When I get any hassle from the mrs I remind her she has horses….
