Then Wednesday morning - it's orft we jolly well go. Once I turn off the A1 and head towards Kings Lynn, the fuel economy will improve rapidly - there ain't no hills


Good morning Rod and that is most important the spare wheel I know just what it's like trying to slide it back under the caravan what I done with mine was to get an extension lead the kind that they fit to the twin wheels of a Lorry then I could check the tyre pressures while the wheel is still under the van

At the moment the front suspension on the Tourer both sides have been stripped out, Andy came round to fit a couple of drop links, they were seized solid only way was to take the struts to release them, then found the ball joint on the driver side wishbone was knackered,
so rather than NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- about I decided the best option was to renew both sides including the top strut bearings plus struts and springs.
Rather than renew a couple of items I thought it would be best to do all of it, just I wont have to perhaps strip it down agin in the near future.

Jules.

Together Forever

Lonely days are long
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be

Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams
