Took the dog for his morning walk, dropped him off at the doggie spa, then decided it was such a nice day, that a drive in the stunning north Yorkshire countryside was on the cards.
So guess what I did, drove for the sheer pleasure of it, had a nice meal in good company, then drove home again. After seeing the result of a relaxing day for my smallest furriest little son, I've booked myself and my good lady wife in for a day at Ramside Hall. Oooh, I cannot wait, this has to beat lying on your back under a car LINK Brian |

Fixed the leaking sunroof drain on the passenger side, using the aquarium pipe connector as per the How-To's. For the last few days, I've had our portable dehumidifier in the front and the carpet is definately much drier than it was and I hope that I wont have to go removing the carpets, as the damp was only on 1 side.

Sounds good Bri, I have just finished laying on my back emptying two tins of Dinitrol over and inside the rear subframe and associated components. (But mostly over me!!)

The last car I had seen which had this type of water ingress, required both sides to be changed When the carpets are lifted, you can see why they retain water, the foam is very thick indeed |

Completed a two day trip to the tank museum and back with various stops along the way 863 miles on a tank and a quarter of fuel after an almost complete rebuild of the running gear and while the rear is apparently out of trueit drove beautifully with the only niggle a check engine light which Marinabrian tells me is a loose connection on the fuel filter

Been to Sheffield today to pic up the straights. I was going to get them refurbed in a more chrome look finish, but I have decided for now to go with original silver sparkle. A couple will be getting a light refurb but they don't need anything major and come with tyres as well. Thanks Dave! Just pondering on the best approach with centre caps now!
