gavin the reason for me knowing where you live is easy i take a young guy to a tuesday club in my minibus who lives at the end of your road jus recognised the transits as yours :wink: :) was good to meet you also.

cheers for the comments guys, it did cause a bit of a stir at ford fair as we sat in the que to get in for 2 hours it was a bit weird having loads of people staring at us 8) :lol:

bit of an update,had a bit of a play with me van today (had a day away from wifeys capri) bought a prop from scrappys the other day,idea was to give it to my prop guy and get him to make me another as mine has a vibration.but the only front piece of prop i got to modify has a big rubber donut in it (no thanks) so i took it to bits and just tried the back half,after i had changed the pinion oil seal as its been chucking diff oil all over the back of the van for ages.
went for a test drive and its much better than it was but i need to go for drive on a long piece of road at varying constant speeds, but heres hoping :wink:
