F-ing van, f-ing dark redneck roads, f-ing cars with full beam on, yes I'm not happy :x (or any of the other 6 dwarfs) coming home tonight I was blinded down a dark country road and kind of fell off the road into the rough muddy pot hole part all country road have :roll: Anyway I have just been to the shop and seem to have a very very loud thudding clunking noise coming from the N/S front wheel when turning at low speed, now I'm thinking either snapped spring or knackered wishbone bush, I did think collapsed wheel bearing but you wouldn't feel and hear it so loud in the cab :?

I have grabbed all the vitals, steering arms, antiroll bar, wheel, wish bone, drop links and gave them a good tug and shake and all seem tight, there is play in the driveshaft like wibbly wobbly play and the steering is a bit mind of its own now and fairly heavy at 15 mph and below, any ideas.

Bloody van, I'm too busy for this sh*t. N

Jeez Ned, if it's not the van trying to kill you it's other people!

I finally found the amber marker lights I've been looking for, they were on top of the fridge in the garage :? along with the non-slip tape I bought for the side door step

Now then Ned ... Opposite gates into fields there's always a big hole filled with water waiting for you to drive in to
Its because modern turnip harvesting machines are far larger than their predecessor's and can't make the turn without driving over the verge on the other side of the road making a big muddy van killing hole
On the occasion its not fords fault its the turnip masters for making the hole

Pea fields are worse a gang of pea harvesters and entourage are far more destructive than a turnip harvester
