:eek: bloody ell! You're not getting those for cheap mate, no mater which way you cut it!

Today, I dug my Depender out of the snow then tried to find out why it wasn't running (it fires up, but then dies, so am thinking fuel feed issue as suggested by Buster) As I lifted the bonnet, I slipped on the snow and pulled the damn hinge out of its housing. I couldn't wrestle it back in...

Tidied inside, sorted out my Thompson chest with useful kit then started the bastard thing repeatedly while figuring out why it won't stay running!

Looks like a good day! Shame I couldn't make it, although I'd have hindered, the poxy thing ground to a halt on the way home!! Anyway, I'll try and make it out on local lanes with you guys soon!

Good stuff. Cheers for the advice fellas.. quite liking flecks idea actually...

After reading the thread about nicked landies, I'm a bit worried now, as my truck isn't as hidden as it used to be. So my question to you dear oddballs.. which is the best/most reliable steering/break/gear lock for a depender in your opinions? cheers, Dale
