LSDs are done on the rollers at my local garage. Not sure if there's a tweak, but he does both wheels together.

Probably, but something about if the diff locks as well. Reminds me of the story about using Tapley meters in the early days of MOT's. One tester used to place it on the passenger seat and if it ended up on the floor after brake test it was a pass

I managed to 'acquire' a Tapley meter back out of a skip still in it's original lovely wooden box, they are surprisingly heavy

We went with Angle Mog today to Sutton Hoo. Even for a volunteer like me it was interesting as I don't usual join the Sutton Hoo Society tours of the mounds. Janice & I finished off with lunch at the Ramsholt Arms. Thanks to Chris for the organisation.

Just returned from a visit to friends in Somerset.
157 miles on Thursday - all dry and hood down.
36 miles very wet on Friday to visit the Hauser & Wirth gallery at Bruton where the farm shop stocks the most magnificent beef but the "Bar & Grill" os worth avoiding.
150 miles today. Started out from near Wells in monsoon conditions with the weather brightening as we drove north. Finally put the hood down when the sun came out.

Short run to Laugharne his afternoon. Parked below the castle and walked round the estuary with Monty. He had a swim as the tide was in. A cool drink in the pub garden on the Grist ( the square) with ice cream to follow. My family were from Laugharne but no relatives there now. Nice to get back there. The Dylan Thomas links are going strong. Luckily the Pensarn roundabout wasn’t that congested on the return journey. You get to it as the A48 reaches the town. At tourist travel times it is a real pain with long tailbacks. Local knowledge helps miss them.

A 520 mile round trip over the weekend down to Sunningdale and back via Malvern. Great catch up with friends over a long weekend. Travelling down on motorways, sheer volume of traffic kept average speed around 60mph, no holdups the Roadster did nearly 40mpg with the hood down. Journey back was a pain with half hour crawl followed by half hour stationary on M6 J15 whilst an accident was being cleared....we had a good chat with a lorry driver about all things Morgan whilst stationary.
It great to see friends again after the Covid lockdowns, videa conferencing whilst keeps you in touch doesn't make up for the hugs.
