Update. Fluid from the exhaust drip int diesel an the expansion tank is empty. Best hopes are it's just the head gasgit. Is a right sod, all the way to St Ives an back fer pasties wifout a blip anorl..

You've got too much time on your hands. Get an old Landy and some spanners, maybe a welding kit and the steel from a weeks output from a major steelworks.

Me tratter is poorly. Billowing white smoke out the exhaust. Noticed fluid dripping from the braided section of the exhaust anorl. Hoping it's an njector an nots the gasgit. Need to check coolant level..

Just washed me burd feeder.

Been bldy cold here too, 4° at night, that's cold for here and not usual for late March.

Morning All. :D Colder today than of late. :( Have a nice day. :D

In honour ov the chap that died recenlty eye cooked me bacon for me sandwich on me mean green grillin fing.

Went to the Inn on loch Lomond for dinner...Cullen skink, steak pie followed by sticky toffee pudding n ice cream. :p Took my bro & his misses had a nice wee day. :):) Did I say im on holiday. :D:D

Towlander as it tows brilliant 😁

I recently removed a lot of grass near my driveway and laid some nice gravel down. That was after digging a lot of it out and laying some type 1 or something similar, as a base. Anyway, the compactor I hired for the weekend was a lot heavier than...

Eye is finking again of pulling up me manchester cobbles and relaying em flat. Eye could hire a compactor to level and stamp down the sand but is will be done in patches so lots of on off hire. Looked at buying the leccy one below burrit dunt...

I do like a nice fire. My incinerator is my favourite garden implement and when using it I always chuckle about how much my father in law would hate it. Probably need to heap a load of stuff up and have a big burn up before it gets too dry/hot...

Morning all, I had a fire in my old oil drum last night all by myself an 2 beers. Ahh nice. :cool::cool:

Ours chases things but doesn't catch things much, likes the odd lizard (gecko). Often chases leaves, fluff, shoelaces, other cats etc. When clearing up the rat found a beheaded snake which also went on the shovel to be chucked, thought he'd...

heavy rain at the moment forecasts 50mm and thunderstorms all day water tank full to the brim so looks like a restfull Sabbath may watch some rivercottage after lighting the log burner 💿+💻+💺

Are cat when younger would catch and eat crickets and grass hoppers we knew when he was successful as he would pass wind that smelled like rotten cabbage, glad he's older now , 😷😷😷

One of our previous cats would catch anything, spiders, birds and mice, another never did and had a small jumping spider she would watch for ages as he webbed up and moved around ... Even this old boy still tries to catch bluebottles, sometimes...

I have to confess that I am not very "up" in how all this works. I thought that a sacrificial anode works by oxidizing more quickly than the steel the tank is made from. I have no idea about what ours are made of. I just know that our water is...

Just checked and yes you could sell the leather for good money.

You could probably replace the leather interior with a cloth one and make a profit. Only ever driven a hired 6 speed one. Only any use on M-ways. Or A roads with lots of dual cabbageways. Glad the sat nav is working! Still sounds like a nice...

Drop arm ball joint replaced, bit of a ball ache (get it 🫣), but got there in the end! The atb diff helped mask the problem a little, but it got to the point where it was getting silly! Back to cornering on rails!

Bought some lead substitute additive for it. The lady in the petrol station was interested to hear what I was buying it for, I don't think they sell very much of it.

I must say I don't really know either, I'm just aware of it and I've seen that it gets eaten away after a while. I think you're right in that the anode will degrade in preference to the tank. Our water probably is a bit alkaline, in our case I...

We don't really know the exact reason but there was some kind of issue which resulted in an 'infraction' early on which is the kiss of death. She's been fighting it in the courts for about 15 years. There's been two lorries up and down the...

Remind us why it got demolished. Poor people. :(

Looks in very good nick, you could buy a full sized spare wheel for it. I hate those small spare wheels, especially on a big car.

Very smart. Here's a sticker for your tailgate ------ 😁

One wat I just bort :)

The lovely lady in the shop set it up for me, while we chatted about cars etc.😀😀😀

Our cat earned his keep today, he caught a rat. I did take a picture of it but it's not a very nice thing to post... He's only 7 though, we thought he wasn't bothered about mice and rats because whining for more brekkies is easier, seeing as...
