If it looks doubtful that I won't get Bertie mended, then I'll look to make a social visit (really coming to eat all the pies) :sick:

:dance:

Martha's clutch is a bit poorly, bled it but biting point still low, not slipping at all,, bulkheads fine and the fluid keeps going dark - think the seals are on their way out -
But in the spirit of FOG - if it needs fixing - its got to be broken first...
See you all Sunday!! Green Flag on Standby!

List so far...

Greg - the best I can do is a social visit in the Sedona - reckon the white flag is coming out of the front diff swop. Cracked on nicely this morning - hub undone, ball joints disconnected, near side drive shaft out - then the envitable - can't get one of the 22mm bolts that secure the front axle to clear the captive nut. All loosened off nicely but the bloody bolt won't clear the captive nut - not sure if the captive is loose. Been ramming crow-bar etc up under it and then pushed up with the trolley jack to put pressure on and still the bloody thing won't clear. Started that part of the procedings at 1p.m. this afternoon. Residing to the idea of the angle grinder, but if I do that, then I've still got the get the remains of the bolt out and see what fix is required with the captive.
Going to crack on in the morning and see how it goes. Then look to see how it goes for getting down early p.m.
I'll call on the mobile and see what viddels want topping up.
