I was up at 4

Morning All. :D All good here @WhiskyLassie thank you. Enjoy your holiday time. :) Got up a tad early (couldn't lie there any longer), got the paper etc. etc. Took a look inside the airing cupboard and yes, it is still an awesome job. :)...

:mad: Did you just swear in ‘ere?

He chuffing well did!! Morning all, getting the foot down and I've finished my shift for the time being. How's everyone?

MOT Pass! with no advisories as usual. So thats 19 passes on the bounce, and 21 passes in total (2 were failed and passed within 5 mins for silly things bulbs, washer fluid etc)

First coat of etch primer on today after another frustrating few hours getting the old paint off.

Started sanding the roof down for painting. Dog of a job given whoever painted it last seems to have used some chewing gum based paint 😏

That's me on leave, first chunk of time off in 5.5months 😈

Update as promised. My son took it out yesterday evening and drove a few roads which we have driven a thousand times. He knows what speed it would normally do and what gear it would be in. It's a mix of country, town and fast A roads with a...

Polished a turd.

Check YRM for repair panels, They have most of what you will need. It would not be cheap but is likely to be the same amount of work for a much better result than swapping the tub, as a replacement tub is likely to have similar issues even if not...

Thanks, guys, that would be a simpler and cheaper solution than changing the tub and would be covered by the carpets. The other areas are the front seatbelt mountings in the front corners of the tub - will have a better look at these but...

One of my neighbors once went passed me and said ah that's what you look like, normally all I see is a pair of legs sticking out from under your car 🤣

It's the opposite for me, stopped to offer help to a young man with a young lady in a little sports car and he declined and looked very flustered. Also stopped to help out a couple of dibble during the storms, offered to tow a tree off the road...

Had a stranger knock on the door saying Yanny (local friend) had sent him to us cos he wasn’t in the village to use the tractor. The mighty 90 dragged this out no problems. Yep there’s ice on that “little puddle” So I would have to conclude it’s...

I normally get.. Can you tow my caravan it’s only got to go round the corner…nope I need £50 just to attach it to the landy & 1 of you has to get in the passenger seat.(these jobs are never simple) Can you move some cows/sheep/ bales of hay…...

One of the clutch springs jumped out and holding the friction plate away from the flywheel? Would explain the rattle before it failed

Drove a couple of lanes around Bucklebury on my own today. Decided to go down a lane we haven't been down for years but remember it being quite tight between the trees. 1hr 1/2 later after cutting back many Holly bushes I made it to the other...

Good Morning all. Lazy Sunday but the cars needed a clean. Thankfully the cat is helping me shouting whilst I polish.

It didn't work because it didn't work, it's not rocket science ... And yes, if the seller was to wind and set and watches/clocks it would be lovely, but not everyone has time for that s**te ... see what I did there ... 😂 Edited because of...

It’s not a TD5 though. Probably a 19J 2.5TD, or maybe a 200tdi transplant. Neither of which are particularly fussy as to exact specs. Front hub seal leaks could possibly just be the rubber hub caps.

You should NEVER wind a watch that is for sale, a small rotational shake is sufficient to make the drive train active to see/hear if it is working ...
