Took Beasty for an emergency 50mile round trip. Foot on the floor most of the way there. Temp went up to 3/4...the highest I've ever seen it. I actually heard the fan wooshing away :shock:

. Cooled straight back down though once I slowed down a bit. Quite surprised that she can do a ton.

use it to go to a break down towed a 7 and half toner off main road and to safety and cheered on by the traffic police as it was causing grid lock on the main street of muirhead

Got a pidgeon stuck in the grill at 7:10am this morning after hitting it doing 70mph on way to car boot sale damn thing didnt get out of the way in time :shock:

why was the pigeon going to a car boot sale?

explains why it was doing 70mph

it was like something out of a cartoon the feathers flew everywhere lol :twisted:

thought they things had a homing instinct

Was just cadging a lift.

Hit an oncoming pigeon in a works van while I was doing 70 on the M'way. Bleeding thing took out my bonnet as a spoilsport gesture. Vauxhall Movano bonnets crumple real bad it seems. Feathers everywhere and when I got to my destination I had to wash the front of the van down.

As for me it seems 20 year old cheap plastics in an engine bay leads to washer pump housings getting brittle and cracking leading to them breaking down and not working 3 weeks before your MOT date. Its now held together with fabricated metal plates, a cable tie, wing and a prayer.

Replaiced the 2 rear brake pipes where they go over the chassie just befor the rear axel. Now just to do the 2 fuel pipes at the same spot and than time to take it for its annual ticket.

Finally washed the Annual mud off and parked it up for the next while while I run the cheaper run around.... Got to save for the next trip :lol:

dont talk it up

... the rear one will give out next in sympathy ... might be persuaded to give you a hand swapping it at the suffolk show though if your feeling brave. You said it was leaking at the annual didn't you Dan.

ratcav
if my clutch is here we can do mine no prob

Soak everything in WD40 this week buddy. Will hopefully make things far far easier ... also you might want to remove the half ton of mud etc you collected at the annual
