Mrs complaining the heater don’t work… must be time to flick the hot switch & put the cover in front of the rad.
Did say if she wants warmth to take her S1 out
Looks like I have a little list of jobs to think about over the weekend

How much you asking for it & what condition is it in.
I pulled a Volvo out of there with my Focus a couple of years ago. BMW X5 stuck in the middle with his window down last year. Also came across someone with some sort of Kia, bailing it out with a bucket, that was also last year.
That's a good result.The 90 is sorted.. It was an oil cooler pipe which had come off. The fittings have been replaced and it’s ok. I’m happy!

Back in the late 90's we were walking from home to The Pot Kiln for lunch via the ford. There, stranded mid-ford at full depth was a DB7 Volante in sh!t green [not the sublime Aston Sage]. The driver was a balding fellow with dark dyed hair-cum-comb over of the too much gold and shiny shoe variety. Beside him was an early twenties blonde of the type one would not take home to meet the parents. Both were looking thoroughly ****ed off...him because of the hydraulically locked engine and impending bank balance emptying garage bill, her because she'd have to get her shoes wet. We didn't stop to ask if they'd called the AA, but we did laugh all the way to the pub...all the way through an extended lunch and all the way back home.
They were still there when we strolled back some 3.5hrs later...

It's not as if it doesn't have a prominent depth marker board.

I'm always cautious crossing the ford, even in the Ninety with raised air intake and Gwyn Lewis breathers to the upper bulkhead. Over the years have seen two Defenders come unstuck there where the drivers went in far too fast with std air intake. The car that always surprises me at its wading ability is my 19 year old Subaru Forester...they're quite amazing things.

Opened bonnet to resolve heating problem.
Found the heater cable outer has broken & this has caused the inner to seize.
So another part onto the shopping list.
And the heater wedges onto hot,well winter is on its way…
Looked at the headlight relays & realised I have changed 1 already. Now on the search for solid state relays

A good day today, got the Landy out for a spin to a mates house so her could fawn over her; picked the little one up from a birthday party, loved being in the front seat; got the radio battery box out of the back with much effort; got the bench seat out; new plates on; new flag decal on the back.
Found a source for both missing bracket in the back, and a radhaz kit that I'm going to use as insulation for the back, as well as hoping it reduces the number of rattles.
Satisfying day all around to be fair, looking forward to having her out again tomorrow.

Today, replaced some bolts and nuts that were missing from the roll cage in the back. One of the supports wasn't attached at all, glad I went around and checked/ replaced them all!
Booked in for MOT/ Service for the start of next month, MOT expiry tomorrow means no driving for a while
Fingers crossed it'll be ok, as long as I can fix the lack of high beam on the left-hand side...
