Cheers Jay. Were putting up a tarpaulin for people to sit under or just stand and drink and on the grass area we will put up another one like last year for working under.

hopefully the weather will hold out and we will have a good day as my missus is already started with if its raining i am not going talk so lets hope it is sunny in the morning so i can get out of the street as i wont be turning back once i leave he he hee

[snapper]

Hmm, did you just mention work there Bobby? scary...

Jobs to do list....

1. n/s u/j boot (not that important so long a I don't go swimming the thing or use the 4 wheel drive cos it's an 'A' series and only goes round when in 4 wheel drive).
2. Both lower ball joints, probably something I should do soon, getting a wee bit fed up of the squeaking now. Should do the boot at the same time, but that would be sensible.
3. Tappits, not been done for oh how many miles? gotta be headed to 50k so I guess I should do them sooner than later, not that you would notice the difference in clatter, it is a 2.8 after all
4. New spots for the front cos one fell off, it died well.....
5. New front & rear discs n pads, not needed yet but on the list all the same to do over the next 6 months.
6. Replace gearbox mount (apart from the stealers where can you get one, do milners sell them? ).

Got all the bits less the disks, pads, gearbox mount and spots. Think I will do the disks and ball joints at the same time as the u/j boot and it's probably not a good idea to do them 120 miles away from home either just in case something breaks so that just leaves the tappits and spots, oh and gearbox mount if I can find a good un between now and sat.

Any MUA gearbox mount should do it
