I was close to cross axled wasnt i! You can see why i was having trouble when you look at how shiney and smooth the mud has made my tyres. I wasnt digging in, just polishing the grass!

Just surfaced from my pit.. finished the night shift and got my head down at

8am.

I couldn't get comfy at work until I fitted Morphs Steering wheel to the desk ;-)

Piccys look good Tim, I'll upload mine in a mo once my eyes open fully.

Right proper old adventure. Also learnt alot, like when planning a route if some one says "you'll fit through easy" runaway. Think of a time the route will take and multiply by four. And roads which look massive on a 50000 scale map after gazing at lanes for hours are in reality not much bigger than the track, they just have tarmac.

Tom you retrieved the truck yet?

Kewl, who invited the pimp in the silver jap thing? ;-)

Lee, how 'legal' is your spare there in terms of obscuring the numberplate? Would it be better to have a square, two line numberplate in the same place?

erm, not sure he ever actually was invited....

Of course, it could just be that a skilful photographer has allowed the wheels to blur ever so slightly to give an impression of movement...

I'm wasted on you lot! :)

Retrieved thisafternoon, though it is now running very hot (It used to run below N and is now on the red line). Had to stop for it to boil for a while just before nantwich, which quite annoyed some old bloke who's house we were devaluing by being outside.

I have to say that, looking at it in the daylight i chose quite a nice place to brake down! - the view putting my pulley back on was much nicer than my usual views while fixing the landy!

It surrently gives the driver a permenant sauna effect - so hopefully the running hot is due to the popped expansion tank and not the head gasket!

Now... can i just block off the expansion tank feed or change the waterpump to a 90 item to eliminate it?

I'll upload mine tommorrow. Been too busy today! I have managed to get through a complete tank of LPG in the car in one day!

I'm not familiar with your cooling system but I'd say it will be the expansion tank. The water will boil much quicker as it's not under pressure. New expansion tank should sort it fingers crossed.

May be worth a trip to the scrappy or a trawl of ebay.

I'm more releived that you found it again, I had visions of mustering a search party ;-)

The back wheel isnt spinning!. You cant see any of the thread on it :p

On or around Mon, 10 Apr 2006 18:57:29 +0100, Tom Woods enlightened us thusly:

I thought the next-to-last one was a view from an AA van 'til I saw the last image.

Acting as an AA van in those pictures :)

B'grit, that reminds me of the 'fallen off the list' job of replacing all the itchyscratchy stuff with Celotex... :-(
