Thanks for posting those Andy, I was going to call in myself but got dragged into work.

How are you getting on with Daisy, about time we had an update?

Still slow progress Mike , need to retire ASAP :-)

After 9 years of ownership, I have managed to get the lorry under cover away from the worst of the weather. The good thing about dutch barns is the vehicles have air around them to dry them off when they become condensated. Now I know it fit's, I have peace of mind knowing it has a home when it is eventually finished.

Makes a huge difference keeping the worst of the weather off mate 😊 . Still enjoying your updates 😊

Lovely job and lovely pups mate 😊

Well ten pounds definitely didn't buy improvements on previous years toilet blocks that is obvious . Shame as its my only complaint . Could I suggest a few of the Gents urinal only type loos that Great Dorset Steam Fair has would be a good idea dotted around the fields ! Could I also comment that some of the people who use the toilets also need to learn how to use em ! So they are still useable by the next person in need of them ! As I say the toilets where my only disappointment ! Can't imagine how the ladies amongst us get on !

Lovely job Mate 😊 I've just come in from the shed , just a little Scammell relaxation 😂

Good news mate , we are thinking of a German Shepherd as the next member of the Fowler household . We have had Border Collies and have an eleven year old chap called Bob at the moment . Any first hand advice on the breed would be appreciated. My young children 9 and 5 have grown up with collies , but Germans are quiet a lot larger so should I be concerned ?

Best wishes Andy

Excellent progress mate . You found homes for the pups yet ? 😊

Hello, are you 100% sure the fuel line between tank and pump is air tight , I had lots of problems with my Humber pig which turned out to be poor connections in the fuel line preventing the pump from drawing the fuel from the tank . Replaced the faulty connection and had no problems since !

Here's mine 😊

Really enjoying this thread mate . On my Explorer that plate that is welded between the two diagonal angle irons which join in front of the tow hook has a date stamped on the underside . May only be noticable if bare metal . I have taken this as her birthday 😊. Best wishes Andy

They are for something, but what ?

I think they are to carry the scotch pan cables mate !

I wonder who fitted the extra rear window and why ? She's looking good mate ! 😊

Beautiful Mummy and Pups. She does look pleased with herself, and so she should be. Light Stone coloured too, as all Scammell Explorers should be!

Wonderfull 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Beautifull dogs 😊

Have defo got one valve and poss two but no palm couplings I'm afraid mate

Richards spot on as normal 😊

Sorry about the picture , only one on my phone ! I'll get a better one tonight after work and see if I have any parts spare ! Best wishes Andy

In both photo's are the ends of my air lines for connecting to trailers if towing. As you can see, they are incorrect.

Does any one have a detailed close up photo of this area on both sides with the correct ends and brackets ?, which I guess would have been bolted to the main frame in the two holes adjacent to the area I am discussing. Thanks in advance.
