Just a few pics i took this morn , as it was so nice at 8.30 a.m , thought we would give the Jeep a run out ,around the Freckleton/Warton area(first run out of the year ,due to family members having to have operations).Jeep ran ok , then just near home started to splutter ,(crap in tank/carb i guess).
