    To show that an effort has been made to find the owner, ask the quarry and/or the land owner to write a notice giving the trailer owner chance to collect the vehicle by (insert date*) before it is dispose of. Affix one copy to the trailer and one on the nearest road access to the field. Proof of this should be kept in case the owner does ever return for the trailer.

    * According to this site only 7 day's notice is required:-

    The damage was caused by the tin worm, and the repairs good or bad have been done by me, so there is no guarantee any of it is right (LOL!)

    I meant accident damage pre tin worm. Also, I wasn't questioning the quality of your repairs.

    Spent the rest of Saturday fitting and adjusting the blast skirt.  Still can't get it quite right.  Near side is quite good but the off side, which was so badly corroded, I had to copy the near side and try to reverse the dimensions, isn't working. What looks straight doesn't fit and what does fit looks totally p*ss*d.  Something's not right, but we'll get there. No point in photographing it til I get it sorted.

    Is it possible, that rather than the blast skirt being the wrong shape that the other metal work has been damaged at some time and poorly repaired, so making it impossible to make everything look a perfect fit?

    looking at a poor copy of the operation manual appears to show 2 spanners. 

    I don't own a No 2 Stove but looking at the spanner in the third photo you may just need one spanner:-

    If it is the correct spanner for the No2 and the No2 Modified, with an original as a pattern, you could have one laser cut.

    She is very low mileage and has been restored and well looked after by her previous owner so I'd be surprised if it was any major service item that was awry but it is driving me nuts. I guess I'll have to start stripping the drive train and do it the old fashioned way.

    Assuming that you had a test drive before buying the lorry, has the ride become worse or are you just noticing the problem because you are driving it further.

    Nothing to lose in asking the seller what he thought about the ride when he owned it and what might have happened to cause the judder/vibration if it is not normal.
