  1. She's fine. Not even bothered her when it a hole to the bone. Running around with a wagging red fountain. :shake:

    If you are going up say hi to Jim for me.

  2. Poptop: are you going to Evilstock this weekend?

     

    Not going to be able to make it, Little pup dog has been dropped off at the vets to have her tail shortened. She has managed to mangle the end of it. :schocked:

  3. I would have thought the easiest way would be to have a socket made up to which you can plug in a standard trailer board for the rear and similar one for the front. Just run a cable in through the nearest hatch for road use and easy to remove and stow once off the road.

     

    When the T55 goes out he normally has a Shorland as an escort front and another car at the rear, to manage junctions and act as lights.

  4. The tdi landrover engines which use Bosch pumps will run fine with Veg oil in the warmer months, but pre tdi engines with lucas pumps its not recomended.

    For the winter a weaker mix of veg oil or pre heating is required. The best systems start and stop on diesel and use heated veg oil for the rest of the trip.

     

    Grasshopper,

    Has also needed 2 sets of new injectors (before running on biofuel) when it refuses to start, usually after having just been driven.
    If the P38a is a pig to start when hot, its not usually the injectors at fault, its the pump. When hot and left standing the fuel in the pump gets hot and alters the viscosity, which the pump cannot handle. The trick is to carry a bottle of water and soak the pump, cooling it and then it will usually start. ;-)
  5. I hate it when the steamfair is on - this people cause nothing but hassle,

     

    I am sure this could be said about any major event when its local. I am sure the locals to the War and Peace show hate the traffic and this year mud on the road. The V festival was on last weekend and caused traffic chaos for a weekend around here. At the end of the day its soon over and normality returns

     

    Why does the local tax payer have to foot the bill for clean up? Surely thats the responsibility of the event organiser?
