Looking carefully the size of the horn should have been a clue to the scale doh

It's 4" scale (4" to the foot, so a third size)

Then I looked at the number plate, 2008 plate, but its black, have the boys in blu stopped you yet, and out of interest what does the log book say, and does it have an SVA?


It's registered an agricultural tractor, so doesn't need a front plate ( also dosen't need an MOT. One day I'll take it to a testing station just to see the reaction evil ). I have a proper black on yellow rear plate for when I take it on the road.

Peter, yes it's fully functional. Quite happy pulling 3 or 4 adults ( or a trailer load of kids!) around the rally field. I do have to remember to use the right fuel. Coal in the engine, petrol in the Mog. I'll get it the wrong way around one day oldgit

My leak cure didn't gloomy. Well, it may have done, but there's another, more serious leak which I found when I got caught in a downpour yesterday frown

It turns out that the box holding the fuses & engine management system ( which has a large cutout on the bottom opening into the foot well) stands off the bulkhead shelf by about 1.5mm with no seal. So any water finding it's way onto that surface will end up on my foot! Gambalunga described his Plus 4 problem in an earlier post & it turns out that the Roadster problem is, in fact, very similar. The drains for the heater well discharge next to the box ( about 15mm away) so it's not a case that it may leak, but that it will leak! I poured some water into the heater well & I'll swear that more ended up on the carpet than I poured in ooo
I've blocked the drains on that side for the moment & have now got to find some way of sealing the box. I can't get the box off to fit a seal underneath & the gap between heater & box and bulkhead & box is too small to get in with a sealant gun. I'll play tomorrow...

Same problem. It's such a small gap, I can't get in to seal it :-(

Is it possible to unfasten and lift the box slightly to gain access for thin fingers?
