I was lucky Brian, it hadn't quite reached the bottom of it, I had rodded the tube only a few days beforehand just to make sure, I guess I'll have to remove the end of the rubber pipe to stop this happening again.

Did front to rear brake pipes, nearside front then changed a droplink.

I shall do the other droplink and the offside front when daylight resumes and rain stops 🤣

This is the fourth 75 /zt I've owned and the first that has had the plenum with water in, the chamber is totally clear of any debris, I cleaned it out a few months ago and not had a problem with it.
I do a weekly check and this had been checked only a few days before and it was clean and dry, thank goodness I had just bought a new pollen filter as I was shocked to see water in there, a poke with a rod soon had it draining away and there was no resistance from the tube when it was rodded.
I shall remove the end of the tube as others have done.

Don't knock it, that's how they make Morgans.

Drove it to A&E after Mrs MB broke her wrist very badly, had a temporary cast fitted, and it's back to the hospital tomorrow for an operation to fix it with a titanium plate

Not really a good way to start the day

Yes it's a nasty one, there were two registrar doctors there today, and they had to pull Chris's arm to align the break a little better, as it was badly misshapen.........I consider myself not to be particularly squeamish, however it was not at all pleasant seeing my darling wife in such pain

She needs to be down at the fracture clinic tomorrow at 07.30, and hopefully all being well in theatre by 10.00.

It was certainly an unexpected and unpleasant start to the day, however the care she received from the staff at the A&E was absolutely top notch

I don't suppose this was a coincidence though, Mrs MB is the one holding the cake in this picture



She is after all the midwife in charge of the Bunn Ward.........



She's going to knack me when she spots this though


Brian
