Well this afternoon I had a site visits to do so took the defender and my power pack and a tow rope just in case

But it behaved all afternoon, I’ll use it tomorrow also and see what happens

Update tomorrow

Was the fixing loose or felt normal when you checked it? There is a specific torque for it. But they can get loose due to vibration. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Sm is actually a lot easier to fit than the interweb would suggest, i expected a long haul after reading on here about it (2.4) in the end 30mins ish and it was done. Cheers

New starter seems to have sorted the problem ( I hope ) starting every time now and new starter sounding a lot faster

took about an hour and 15 mins so happy with that
