A long day...

Today I found out that Norfolk is Bl00dy miles from everywhere! Here’s today’s mileage, a trip to Durham to see the kids, then up to Brian’s in Newcastle for coffee and biscuits, I came home with a repaired ecu and a bottle of JD as well!

Should of popped up here too, Andy. Only another 3hrs...Easy!

At that rate you'll soon be giving yourself a Moon Club sticker Andy.

Didn't put any miles on my fleet today, just replaced the seized track rod end and locknut on Julie's car, put the steering wheel on in the correct position so the marks lined up again on the shaft and reset the tracking to align the wheel. Oh and fitted a modified Tadgum lower engine mount.

Be interesting to see how that works out long term. It is a softer compound than the standard diesel mount rubber but on a short test drive it all felt smoother engine wise.

Probably right...house prices are sooooo cheap only right to spend the savings on toys

It's great here. Good turkey, ham, pork, vegetables. Quiet, flat roads until the grockles come in the summer. What's not to like?

A good round trip. Jasper will be making his annual pilgrimage to Stalham in late April , then have a week's rest as we do our tour of the Broads once again, then he brings us home again in our usual style and comfort. He will do it majestically...he's a 75 !
