Been a while now!!

[madchef]

Well it's been a while since my last visit and I see we have a lot of new members so a quick hello to you all.

Sorry it's been so long,life took a turn for the worse,the problems I had towards the end of last year got worse and took there toll on me.
So it's 2009 and I now have a new job and new home.

Sadly though with all the stuff going on the Fronty got a little neglected and needs some work doing.

At present need to replace the front suspension shocks ( so far Milner off road @ £ 30 each( any cheaper ones??)),strip the cooling system as have air getting into the system and loosing water but no sign of any leaks ( no it's not getting into the oil either before you suggest it,although do have some coming out of the exhaust on starting )and also the inter cooler needs servicing.On top of that seem to have developed a lot of rust.

So might just need to ask a few questions along the way.

Regards

Here's the Update.

The images are click able for larger views
This is the new House and the Estate I work for.......

Mine is the stables



These are the Main House




It's a 1200 acre estate with wonderful sculptured garden,woodlands,private loch and old forest quarry tracks.
Plenty of room for off roading ( although I use the Hilux for that.)

All I do is make sure the main house is secure when the owner is away,repairs if needed and look after the dog.
Sometimes help with the cleaning ( My wife is the Housekeeper).
Lovely place to be.
Internet now sorted.Full time on with 7.6mbp.Yes
Busy times at the moment and I am generally easing myself back into the forum so bear with me if I am not very chatty.
