There's a budget tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if the money grabbing barstewards do away with the free road tax.. My 110 is 40 in November...

Welcome to the mad house Spacebrodie, Am not far from you at the moment, in Bo'ness for a family reunion. Like Saxavordian, ex RAF, but was a radar tech. So I've lived on Benbecula twice, went to school on South Uist ( for a short time) and in Inverness for somewhat longer. Enjoyed the...

Colours fade or darken with age, it's likely you'll never match the old colour perfectly

The view from the sailing club.

Just though you'd like to see our regatta.... In 1908... https://eafa.ehost.uea.ac.uk/work/?id=1392 And a slightly more recent one in 2021, Two hours and I'll be there.

I would just like to say, today starts regatta week, Horning regatta started 1903, which means we had the regatta almost 4 times as often as that minor event in Paris. I've been attending for the last 45 years. The weekend sailing is on the Broad, but from Monday to Friday, it's on the river...

As above with the tyre wear. I run my 110 at 36 ish all round, but heavily loaded or towing up to about 48 at the back, though at max the book says 65.

Type "clip on Ferrite rings" into Amazon. Should stop strange transmissions, clip one round your DC feed wires to the CB set, and with your mic problems one round it's cable would be a good idea too.

Remember to keep the pin and linch pins greased. Because if not greased when you need to change height they'll have rusted solid .. As I found out, as now I have two trailers needing different height settings.

I bought a Android 12, 2Gb/32Gb head unit for the wife's Peugeot 107, the plastic moulding to fit head unit to car was a perfect fit. 1 screw and several clips. Notes, For the aerial skt there was an extender / adapter in the box. Wiring up was no problem, there was an excess of alternative...

There's a one piece sound proofing available on eBay £104..

I've seen video of military land rovers going totally under water, fitted with tall snorkels, the drivers in scuba gear. Driven straight off tank landing craft into the sea. Then on and up the beach. Anything is possible it's just a case of what's safe and what you want.. Without modifications...

I doubt it will get worse. It's a case of diminishing returns, once the general populace is forced out of their non qualifying cars there'll be so few non qualifying cars left for them to make money from they'll stop and find something else to tax.

Well in a series you're almost certainly old enough to be exempt the ULEZ, even my 110 will be in April 2025.

I found a kit on eBay that fits the washers on to wiper arms, works wonderfully well, squirts just In front of the blades.. Something like this...

I've no intention of doing it, but the headlamp conversion permission for my 1984 110 is interesting. I found a quality H4 halogen a good improvement over the standard bulb in there before.. I have changed all other lights to LED, since the casing is the same size and shape as the standard bulb...

The max height is often due to transitions at ramps, a man doesn't have have that problem, Having the front wheels on the flat and the rear up on the ramp may bring the roof too close to the ceiling. Locking your ride height down you may have the problem of grounding when going over some...

Don't have a clock so it's easy, she a 110 van, was 100% for several years, until the wipers broke over the winter, now fixed, and now where the windscreen rubber meets having gone round the screen, there is now a 1/4 inch gap I haven't got round to filling. Might do that tomorrow.

I found the best improvement was fitting a wiper mounted nozzle kit. Fires the water just where you want it. Not too high at low road speed or to low at high road. speed.
