Went to see Robbie today, so he could have a look at the rear diff on Beasty. (noticed some vibration when accelerating and cornering at the same time) Got some good news....Beasty has a Limited Slip Diff. That was a stroke of luck. Sadly though.....I also found out that she needs both rear wheel bearings done (which is most likely where the vibration is coming from). Oh well......Spanner party me thinks. Just as soon as I save up some pennies.

Might as well also renew all the brakes and rear shocks whilst we're on.

WATCH THIS SPACE.

Yesterday Fudge, Fogman, and myself serviced the rear brakes to sort out the failure on the MOT. Turned out the offside upper slider bolt had siezed. Knocked it out and cleaned it all up. Slapped on the obligatory lube and now it seems to be working fine. Then spent a hour adjusting the handbrake. Yes 1 hour and three people to adjust the handbrake. Most stupidest desing ever.

Fixed the rear fog light by kicking it. Then sometime later went to try it again and it stopped woking again. Kicked it again but no joy. Had to take it apart. Put some new terminals on it and cleaned the gack and rust off them. All seems fine once more.

That should hopefully get me a green ticket Tuesday.

Today I managed to get some more bits of interior trim to aid my mission to get her back to her former glory. Full set of door cards, associated swiitches, handles, and covers. All for a tenner.

Anyways I slapped in my rear washer bottle cover and felt chuffed. As for the rest will be useful as spares.

Only a small thing but makes me happy

Dean, I'm sure Horses45 and Bobby would be happy to lend you a hand. Try shooting them a PM. I know Horses lives not far from you. Might be worth a try.

I took Beasty for a nice drive to the seaside with Chel...and we sat in her and ate chips watching the waves. How romantic?
