A great character. Not easily replaced by today's celebraties.

I've been wondering the same thing, having spoken to SSL at the '25 Mogfest. When I had the Nitrons fitted I asked MMC if I should also have the rear ARB, as used in their 'Dynamic Handling Package'. MMC said the ARB was not required. But I still mull over whether a rear ARB and compliant drop links, both front and rear, might further improve the ride.

Good call Deejay, twaddle indeed

I mostly wear a digital Lorus as it is robust enough and inexpensive for gardening, DIY and doing jobs on the Mog. I have a couple of reasonable watches and the gold Tudor I was given on my 21st when we are going out. I'm not bothered about expensive watches they only tell the time as do mine.

I've got a 2015 Aero Coupe, which I guess is going to be the same engine and fueling set up and it always starts immediately hot or cold.

I just googled it which made the following suggestions...

Crankshaft or Camshaft Position Sensors: As these sensors age, internal thermal expansion breaks down their circuitry when hot. They fail to send precise rotational signals to the ECU until cooled or subjected to extended cranking.

Fuel Pressure Leakdown / Leaking Injectors: If an injector drips or the fuel pressure regulator bleeds off pressure into a hot intake tract, a temporary rich or vapor-locked condition occurs, delaying immediate ignition firing.

Plenty of treasures in them there sheds

People will always try and often get round certain taxes and costs. There are bright criminals out there who will hack cost per mile. Or we all rush out and drive when the system goes down ! People started to park their cars in their front gardens when parking permits came in . Result rain run off issues, Increased parking permit costs for my second car, so it now sits on a snug drive with no wall. I didn’t rebuild it when a vehicle knocked it down.. Taxing, it goes on and on but I appreciate new thinking might be needed. Our council allows flat developments but restrict the number of vehicle spaces on planning or will not allow permits for the flat owners . They don’t want cars or wood burners in London !! Great freedoms but it’s in our best interests.

Had a look in this church yard in Rudston (on the road between Fridaythorpe and Brid) it has the tallest monolith in Britain in the grave yard, it has been there for 2,000 years and the 11century church was built adjacent to it.

That's some heavy rig muscle bet his mpg is an eye opener.

As has been alluded to, the workaround I used on my ARP4 in the 10 years I owned it, and passed on to every MOT tester, was that the car should be set with the footbrake hard on first, then the handbrake pulled up, this then held the calipers in the position set by the footbrake. No-one says that the handbrake has to be used to slow the car, only that it should hold it in a parked position. It certainly worked for all my MoTs. BTW, the handbrake on my '24MY Plus Four grips like iron.

Like you I insist on being able to heel 'n toe, even on my old working HiLux. On my current Plus Four I have actually shaped a piece of half inch plywood and screwed it to the accelerator to raise the level slightly. It works a treat and is in keeping with the use of wood in the frame. So, don't be afraid to mess around with bending pedals or adding height to the accelerator etc to get just the right setup.

Newton Equipment supply them as well as flush fitting aircraft type. Thread here on fitting one.

Hope all works out as you might hope Howard...

- Austria + Slovenia
Back in SLO , it was a bad day yesterday for a Porsche 911 from Austria !
Lovely bit of flat but winding road between Kranjska gora and Gordz Martuljek, you can see for over a mile, 90 kph limit but at that you have
to cut the bends and cross the solid white line . Everyone does it usually at less than 90 on a clear road .
Sadly this Porsche pushed it and ended up mot cornering well, over running one bend and crashed into the back corner of a parked log
transporter. Not injured, perhaps his pride and certainly his Porsche !!

PS Still not seen a Morgan but Stephen888 (?) will be in Slovenia soon with his Croatia rally and hopefully might see some .

Thanks everyone for the ideas and contacts, very much appreciated.

Yes our choice is Premier Inn unless we know a good local one but without the restaurants they seem not owrth it. Trsvelodges we don't especially like.

Off to Sutton Hoo in the CX tuesday & the Low House Laxfield on Wed.

I’m selling my USA made Ez Lift car lift. I used it on my Broklands M3W, it lifts from floor to 26 inches horizontally using a corded electric drill. Makes cleaning, winter storage and maintenance a doddle and when not in use you can park over it. Cost from Holden UK new is £2500.00 plus delivery. I’m selling for £1250.00, it dismantles to fit in your tin top so to be collected from GU35. PM me if genuinely interested in buying and I’ll send photos and info.

Very Good Job

There's room for a couple more gauges...
