You mean a proper knob or a 'bit of a knob' knob ?

Depends on your view of things.

Any chance we might see this knob, asking for a friend?

Bonnets off so decided to get the steel frame off it and start getting it painted

Nearly finished cleaning the frame up for painting tomorrow. It’s pitted in some areas, but other than that it’s in surprisingly good condition.

To start with. Than the small ones for the drill. Then the flap discs on the grinder. I’m blowing bricks out my snotter box.

It will. I’ve got some closed cell foam that I’m going to try and fit to the underside of the bonnet before I put the frame back on. It’s quite soft and I think it will squash down flat.

Got the 90 back from its MoT, service and having wolf wheel studs installed. Two advisories on the MoT, namely a wheel bearing with play which was resolved when the wheel studs were fitted and a slight oil seep from the rocker gasket. The MoT tester was quite impressed with the 90!

Next job, getting the wolf wheels fitted…

Do they take the vehicle for a test drive or is it only visual inspection ?

We do have a rwc trophy though

It’s a visual inspection including underneath. I believe it’s also a drive to test the brakes on a 4WD if they don’t have a the correct brake testing facilities.

The RWC doesn’t get you an MoT either… We had it but decided to share it around.

Changed the main gear in the wiper motor/gearbox, hopefully this will reduce the wide variation in the size of the wiper arc. I'm not really interested in wiping the windscreen seal!
I didn't see anything wrong with he old gear, but we live in hope...

I upgraded to a metal flat muff this year..
Left it on when I was off roading the other month as water crossings. Now removed & hung up for the colder weather.
(Still have a feed sack muff behind the seat for emergency)

Checked water. 1 litre anti freeze added.
While bonnet open,checked power steering fluid. Topped up with slick50 stop leak(just a splash added)

Removed wing tops to get to heater fan,turns freely by hand. Only have 5v on the control wires by the heater matrix so will need a dash strip & check fuses.no time to do that.
