    Phil I'm sat here knackered and worn out.............................. Thanks for a great, fantastic weekend. From the traders that came from the NE and Sussex to the entertainment that came from Cornwall cracking do. Will wade through some photos and get them posted.

    OK With one day to go thought I'd post a few photographs of vehicles that visited Sleap airfield near Wem, Shropshire today in aid of the county air ambulance. Despite a cutting wind the rain failed to turn up and those that did attend had a good venue to enjoy.

    Where abouts in Cheshire is the box?

    Just a curious question, anyone out there that can explain what the holes are for on the bottom rear of the trailer?

    Just an update, ran the jeep up and took it for MOT (there was another thread on brake light switch due to brake issue) and had a good 12 mile run. Ran fine after couple of minutes. Also had the garage look at the carb (classic vehicle only garage) superb mechanic who said no issue with carb at all. Fingers crossed...................................

    New MOT in hand, thankfully no advisories so here's to the sun coming!

    As well as skinned knuckles, never ending wish list and an empty wallet to boot; but good times.

    Tony Many thanks, 1962 Hotchkiss so off to the garage it is for me; without going on to much I know there is a thread about MOTing exempt vehicles; whilst over the last 12 months I have completed an engine refit and various other bits I am no where near or have the knowledge to not have an MOT. I think if it was exempt I would still go for an MOT, just my thoughts......

    Sucess Sorted this afternoon before rain and rugby stopped play! Replaced stop switch, had to mess with electrics a bit due to the connections on the new switch being different but now working so hopefully MOT this week.

    Yes I have been watching the updates I have got "I've been spending again" in my favourites. Any tips about how to keep the brake reservoir topped up whilst bleeding the brakes; apart from having really bendy arms and extra long fingers...............:laugh:

    Thought as much thanks for confirming it for me though; I am abit of a mechanic novice but since getting the jeep most fixes seem possible just having that bit of knowledge helps. The TM mauals for the switch just say change it............. Many thanks

    Just getting the jeep ready for MOT and found that the brake lights were not working; I have traced the problem to the stop light switch on the brake master cylinder. I have the new switch and have the lights working but as of yet I have not refitted. My question is, is it just a simple case of unscrewing the switch off and replacing it or do I need to drain the brake fluid? If it's just a simple case of unscrewing and refitting do the brakes need bleeding? Many thanks.

    Not intentionally no.

    This is one thought we had, one of my mate repairs lawn mowers, most of his work comes from mowers with fuel issues. Need to get out for a good run I think and see what happens; after I ve sorted a MOT.

    Runnning fine before laid up and the fuel is the same.
