Make sure you do it every week - or you'll need to learn how to do a clicking starter solenoid noise... innocent

Made my day with 45 mile round trip to Asda in Bury St.Edmunds. Masked and gloved for a little shopping including comfort food and drink. No Old Peculier though scared so settled for a few bottles of Hobgoblin Ruby ale which seems an acceptable substitute. Filled the tank at 102.7p/litre (every cloud etc.) before equally enjoyable drive home in bright sunshine [Linked Image]

Just 21 miles to the supermarket and back down the M11 for just one exit, a bit of a long way home.

Hi John thanks it helped.
Fought whole morning adjusting left side blade, front end up, wheel on, had a little click before.... and a little click after...)-:
No move felt but still click. What do you think?
Didn't touch the right side one. Toke the opportunity to grease front nipples.
4 miles Road test one (only) dance event at 45mph...
Balancing wheels difficult to find guys aware and equipped for our wire wheels with the specific cone.
What do you mean by trim up the wires? How do you do that?
Take care!

If you can move the damper blade forward or backwards along the line of the chassis then you may need new shims if they are fully adjusted.
Moving in & out across the car is fine.

I meant adjusting the tension on the wires . This might help

Another hard day at the office! Rissington schools, Bourton OTW, and Birdlip, with a nice run down the Fosse way in between. Glorious.

Not just that one, though you'd be surprised how many people wouldn't know!
Thanks, modern phone cameras are great aren't they, but don't tell the pros hide
Definitely can't do the meat of work from home, but I am saving up some reports for the rained off days.
Hope you can all get out legit soon.

Another day out and about on the roads of North Yorkshire making special deliveries.

Had to take a passenger today but made sure he was wearing PPE

Couldn't hear his cries of terror above the roar of the throttle bodies..

Here’s a really dead tree. Had need to visit Rora Peat Moss, did what I do, came home by the yellow road, used some peat to re-use a disposable BBQ, something I’d highly not recommend!
