not today, fifteen days ago, but....Fitted my new (although bought in May!) intercooler... Very happy...had one or two troubles, most solved, except the one that the intercooler tightens an AC pipe...but all is working! I'll check it regularly!

Drove to Scotland and back for a days hunting, 370 miles and a load of mud on the X-Tech first day out, engine seemed slightly quieter than the 2.4 but didn't seem to pull the higher gears as well, also found two leaks Laughing


So, have you bought the X-Tech now ? An engine to TDi for!

I managed to pop into a local garage to pressure wash most of Salisbury plain off the landy after last Sunday's play time. Now all I have to do is wash it properly by hand tomorrow and detach all the long grass from the various drivetrain and suspension components. Neutral

Ok spent 7hrs in the DC today, drove from Dartmouth in south Devon to Guildford to drop daughter back at her mums then straight down to Lymington in the new forest to spend the rest of weekend in the Motorhome which the wife drove up from Devon
Only had a 20 min break at the services near Stonehenge didn't even bother to get out
Great drive didn't miss a beat loving the DC It's good to be back from the dark side

I was 20 minutes early for the ferry so I managed to get to jet wash most of it off on the way home and then gave it another power washing Monday evening before it got dark. Will be out early tomorrow to get the rest off.

Had a look at a potential Big Black replacement.... An Astra Sad - only 6months older than Big Black, slightly above average mileage, but it is absolutely spotless! It will have to be known as Little Black, or if Jessica gets her way, Baby Black Rolling Eyes

Getting back to me on Monday with a trade in price, although I'm not getting my hopes up...

I sprayed my steel conduit saddles black, that are going to go around the roof rack rails and screw into the Wisa board. The bolts on the standard SD rack don't stop the board 'flapping' and making noise with wind speed, so a bunch of saddles will do the trick, these saddles are what I also hold the Foxwing with.
