Yes and the headlamps light up, it's got those soft tyres for rough gardens or cluttered kitchens :D

Got early Fathers day present 😀

Mornin Brightening up here but a bit breezy Tidy up the house today I think Need to service the Freelander soon ready for Scotland / Ireland trip Stay safe all :)

Bloody hope not 😃

Mornin Drizzle and breezy Taking gf to hospital in Liverpool for tests today Getting a bit of vertigo recently, need to find the cause Still not sold me Volvo Still not divorced Need to get things moving Stay dry all :)

Mornin Sun is shining Sorting paperwork today, needs to be done. Stay busy all :)

Have a roll along but it's heavy to work with when full, plus lifting it on and off the truck when going to fill it etc, I take two 25 ltr plastic drums as well

Afternoon Showers here and cool I'm researching water tanks to go under the caravan, fed up with humping water containers about I got some square tubing to go across the chassis for the tank/tanks to sit on (fill em up on site) Shovelled half a ton of stone into the back of me old truck today...

Would have done five years ago, too old for it now mate 🙂

Ready for the off Smallwood here I come 😀

Get in the show free, showing the truck in vintage commercials so have to take it Leaving Freelander to rest for the weekend :)

Well. Mirrors done, works pretty well and I can remove the extension pieces when I get to the show

Having to extend my truck mirrors by 10" each side so as I can see around me caravan Which means making some temporary bracing bars :rolleyes:

Forever the optimist me Lovely sunny day tomorrow, some rain showers Saturday, showers Sunday and showers Monday where I'm going Won't be as crowded so bargains to be had, and there's always the beer tent :D :D

Mornin Bit of a dull start Prepping caravan for weekend at Smallwood steam etc show Genni going in, need to get petrol, got two bottles of gas and two big batteries :) Weather not looking too good but I got boots and an umbrella :D Stay busy all :)

Well my arms are bruised and ripped but the starter motor has been changed 😎 Needed to remove the dashboard and steering column then loosen the brake master cylinder to gain acces to the bolt on the engine side. New starter a lot better and hopefully no more clicking starter when I need it most 😃

The exhaust brake on my old 77 DAF 2800 would lock the back wheels unit only in the wet Am I right in thinking a Jake brake shuts the exhaust valves ?

Whatever happened to white dog poo ?

I recon it would be worth a try, not difficult it's just a butterfly valve in the exhaust pipe They were good on the old trucks depending, DAF were the best in the seventies with Merc the worst in my opinion

I didn't count the Land Rovers, had three Disco 1's a 110 a 90 and a Disco 2, had the 90 about 5 years also had a Mini which I raced and I had that tucked away for maybe 25 years. Tend to keep cars longer now I'm older or maybe the cars are better and last longer or maybe I don't get bored with...
