Early start with clean car, sidescreens off and perfect blue sky. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/C6C9yOu.jpg) Leo in eager? anticipation of walkies on the beach. 40 something miles and we were on the coast at Kessingland, just south of Lowestoft. Forecast was for gentle breeze and around 5° cooler than inland. It didn't dissapoint for I or Leo. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/pzSZMm0.jpg) Lunch would have been in our favourite pub in Southwold but strangely they have gone wet only. Managed a lovely sandwich from the high street. Great drive back home through the twisties with E5 providing performance dividends

A short ride to do some food shopping. I've got a squeak that seems to be coming from the right front. Not effected by braking or RPM, so it must be the wheel. I'll have to pull it apart and see what's going on.
I did 1,000 miles + last weekend with no issues. 1 mile to the store and I have issues. I guess it's better now. Check tightness of the wing stay where it bolts to underside of the top of the wing. If slightly loose it can produce an annoying squeak such as you describe. It has to be in the wheel. The squeak corresponds to the wheel revolution. I'm hoping it's just the cotter spin hitting the inside of the hub.

Eventually had to replace the hub bearings but got a few 1000 out of it before needing to.

Wall to wall blue sky in the West of Scotland today... ideal for a run in the old Morgan so headed into the Trossachs for a circular tour..Pic attached. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/07/09/Trossachs.jpg) Richard, very nice colourful image pic of Leo sitting comfortably. Oh well, just back from Kwik-Fit having paid out £105 to have a new tyre fitted to my +8 resulting from a slow puncture too close to the sidewall to be deemed repairable on a tyre with perhaps 4k miles use... The puncture unknowingly picked up on my circa 80 mile run through the Trossachs in wonderfully warm sunshine on Sat last....Despite the surprise cost, day`s like that are best grabbed with both hands...

We never made it to France sadly but at least a quick drive to the seaside is always possible and today was excellent weather for it. 3 miles to get there and 15 or so going home the long way ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/07/12/20220712_103544.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/07/12/20220712_103534.jpg)

I think I'll change the bearings. I didn't replace them when I did the king pins last winter, and I don't know how old they are.
