Once you drill the van that will be the start

Haha yes tis true!

Re the arches yes they aint all that but look better in the flesh so to speak. The tape actually held out too so if they stay may just bond em on underside with something that wont affect the paint or metal!

Had good road test today in crappy rainy gloom. Glad i readjusted the aim of the headlamps and also had to stop by car spares in dartford as my 5yr old wipers were shot. Didn't feel too robbed, 23quid for a pair bosch aero same as worn out ones. 5er cheaper than halfrauds 8 quid cheaper than euros too!! (5er on ebay but needed today)

Maybe look better filling those rear arches instead with two inch bigger rims and tyres Rob. IMHO.

Can you get 18inch wellers? Got 16s atm. Could put thinner taller tires i guess.?

Van drives much better now and no more horrid slappin noises over potholes amd bumps. Cant wait to get the front coils and shocks swapped (and re do tracking too)

Dont mind it being jacked up a bit npw cos i got scope to load her up if needs be amd caravan should tow better too!!

Finally got around to wiring up my replacement drls that were originally wired somehow to ignition .
Now they are via a switch so (suspected) jump starting shouldnt fry these ones. Also pumped mastic into the rear tube hiles and heat shrunk those too.
Good to have em back on again.
Next up fix leaky pas pipe join thats leaked fpr 4 years. Must be bad now cos pot was empty other day sounded awful i shat meself!
Guess also due an oil change soon before weald thrashing and summer jaunts.

Off to santa pod for stunt fest next week . Looking forward to actually filling all the seats as originally intended!!!! 6 up as we are laeving millie with nan and taking aarons pal and his folks with us!

Be a good test of new rear leaves and shocks too up that rough road to the pod!!!(there was one so bad we broke an exhaust on way from last mania!!)

Got the welder out prior to the outing to reweld a few broken welds on the exhaust. Much better now and only minor burns to my neck from a falling rod
No arc eye or funny tan tho so all good and no blowing pipe . Bonus.
Defo feel new ht leads should be ordered soon too and must investigate lambda wiring to ecu too this year as had one or two instances of one down usually on inclines!!
Other than that nice jaunt out 6 up in meanie!!!

Ok so latest outing to bluewater meet was a bit of a poop was down 2 cylinders again.... long story short discovered no spark signal to plugs 1 and 2 with use of my timing gun just clipped sensor onto each lead and noticed 4 had bright pulsing sparks but 2 had none. None At all few days later as i removed ht lead 1i found that water was fully submerging spark plug in its hole... evacuated the water with some vac hose and proceeded to number 2..also full of water ... HT lead refused to come off then when it did it apparently sh*t itself and left the plug clip on the friggin plug... Now cant get my plug socket over it cos the clip wont allow it...bit of swearing and stressing lookjng thru a jumble of sockets found old (poss genny) spark plug tool (screwdriver thru end type) which was long enough to clear it all ..pump pliers on end managed to crack the b*stard and remove all with some neodymium magnets....2 spare ht leads and back on all 6 ! Til next rain fall!! (Tents down garden awaiting major groundworks( to follow soon)
