Drove Big Ron to the garage (via the carwash) and got a year's MOT.

Yep I know Andy - it's been far too long. Good to have him back in harness.

Fitted a GSM system so I can control my FBH by text messages. It actually took quite a bit longer than a day in total due to the fact that I found that the water pump on the FBH was dead. This only became apparent when asking it to run on its own without the engine running.
I had to fit a new pump before I could even try to get a GSM to control it.

Anyway, all done now! A new toy to play with lol

Just in time for winter 👍

Seriously though, this has to be the best mod for a diesel, nothing nicer than getting into a warm car on a chilly morning.

Hopefully it won't be too long a wait Bri - apart from dump runs the Hippo won't be getting much of a look in.
