Is there a phone number missing from your van?

From under head office

[Kidman]

Yes, because I moved house and took the number off so people didnt ring it. I didnt add pictures so people could spot the difference though and as such, I cannot offer a prize.

Just wondered, that's all, wasn't hoping for a prize.

Freshly cleaned and waxed ready for the week. Not often its pleasant enough outside to clean it !

Looks good. I want the new shape now

Just had an MOT done which it passed with no advisories. It's only done just under 5k since the last MOT! I've had to do rear discs and pads this time, but that's the only expense is a year apart from servicing and fuel. It will need a new front wheel bearing which is noisy and at the same time some new discs and pads for the front but is otherwise there maintenance wise. I'm sure if I did more miles it would throw a problem up here and there but touch wood, it's been boringly reliable!

Yep, knocked that on the head back in September 2012! I managed to get plenty of work at home in Norfolk in the end.

Great


Can I PM you a picture of some damage on a Focus to see if it's something you can sort

You can, but it's unlikely I'll be able to do it as we are normally very busy 5 days a week in the city! When the days get a bit longer it will help.

Sad news, the Transit is up for sale, for a couple of reasons, the first one was - Lack of use! Since end of 2012 I didnt do the miles like I used to, and its been on commuting duties only, last year we opened up a workshop so its use became redundant and apart from taking rubbish to the tip every weekend, thats as useful as it gets. I made the decision yesterday to sell it, so cleaned it up and took some pictures.

Driving home tonight I noticed it was rattling under load, and is getting progressively worse, seem the bottom end has gone So its now up for spares or repair, as i'm not willing to put any money into it, I might as well pass it onto someone who can put an engine in and make use of it.

Check the injectors are tight in the head before condemning it, the injectors move and cause noise, smoke, power loss, back pressure etc etc

I'll look into the injector clamp bolts as thats easy enough to check. TBH with it being so well maintained it really should be nothing serious but we shall see.
