Ignored signs saying don't come this way... went to DIY place for lots of glue for fixing in insulation.

As it is the first day of holiday in the ski season, the gendarmes are out stopping idiots trying to go up snowed up passes without the correct equipment....oddly enough, defenders get waved through!
Realised I still don't know which way the heater controls go, as they don't make any difference.

Had a bit of work to do on the front end but managed to find a cheap substitute wing. I don't think any one will notice.

A bit of mud, and nobody will notice.

I got up early to take the old girl out for a drive as I have fixed the clutch

Turn the key and..... nothing. Not a sausage

I new it couldn't be anything serious lol so I thought 'check fuses' and this is what greeted me:

How the **** can a wire pull off behind a fixed panel?
Still, I have remade the joint. I plan on a rewire early next year so I just put a new connector inline

The wiring is a mess and I have a new fuse box etc to fit.
Also, I remade a connector for this relay hanging around in the engine bay......

It comes from the fuse box and it links to the back of the alternator. It had corroded badly. I don't know what it does but it seems important

Taken the cab, tub and bulkhead off, engine out and swapped the chassis over to a nice new galvanised one.

Wired up my new tow electrics

Changed the first three glowplugs in the engine (2.5 D, the 19J), which made no difference. Moved a few trailers of wood, came back and had lunch, changed the last and hardest to access glowplug, and the engine turns over with the starter motor, but won't catch....

Worked on it until I ran out of light and charge in the battery. Tried putting the old one back...makes no difference. Now looking at haynes and here to figure out what I've done...

I take my own broom, they are a good bunch of guys. The last time I went, started the wash to blast the mud off and a white audi owner turned up in the bay next to where I was.....Mistake....LOL.
