ok so here goes ... this w/e's jobs ... nothing will get done because it will either be (1) too cold (2) rain (3) snow ...

I want to finish fuse box on 110, check door pillar/roof bolts and fit an accelerator cable to the 300/tdi .. if the weather is kind, I'll probably bash my knuckles and it will go pear shaped


well, that all went well - all jobs finished and no problems Thumbs Up except the garage door is getting wobbly .. Sad

The selfish pr!ck who decided to ruin the Boat Race yesterday! Really wound me up - those athletes have done nothing to deserve the disruption by that guy! In my eyes they shouldn't have stopped and just ran the Censored over with the flotilla of launches behind. Evil or Very Mad

Brakes Mad Mad Mad

Trying to sort the brakes on my trailer, now I can't get the bloody hub back on Mad Mad Mad

I have replaced the front hub bearings and left the old rear ones as I can't get hold of them at the moment and have given up on the brakes and taken them out altogether (brakes and me just don't get on! :rant).

So rear bearings back on, put on hub and push front bearings on but the hub waggles about. The front bearings don't seem to want to go back any further by hand and I don't want to hit them in place, they go on very easily without the hub and have a definite stop. The trailer place is now shut for advice...

I know it's illegal no to have brakes - it's a twin axle so will just have brakes on one axle, he Defender will handle that OK. I'm up against £50 an hour and over one hundred for new brakes on one wheel :shakinghead so trying to safe money!!

Advice very welcome!

EDIT NOW SORTED Very Happy Probably cheaper to buy a new axle Rolling Eyes

Random rant: Rolling Eyes

Why is it when I ask for a white coffee at certain outlets, I am often told that they cannot provide me with a white coffee but that they could do a black coffee with milk?

French vs English roads.
Why can the French build smooth roads and keep them maintained while our roads are broken up and dreadfully lumpy. BM52
