Following issues with my health, I took the opportunity to have some overdue work carried out on my 4/4.
As always and since 2005, I use Berrybrook for work that I don’t have the facility or inclination to carry out. I also use them for the annual MoT.
I’ve tidied and swept the garage in readiness.
The weather forecast for East Devon looks particularly good for Wednesday and Thursday, so I am planning some short local drives, to see how well I cope
(The health issues reduced both my strength and stamina)

For those TMers that don’t know my 4/4; it is a well travelled 2003 model, with a 1.8 Ford Zetec engine.
So no power steering, the Ford gearbox, rather than the later Mazda box.
So it has a comparatively heavy clutch and the steering also requires some effort!

However, I can’t wait for it to be back.

woohoo

I’ll keep you updated.

Well, Stanley my 4/4 is back in my garage.

I took it for a short drive and it reminded me of the first time I drove a Morgan.

I am aware that I have lost strength and stamina, so I’m going to take it easy for a while and build up the distances.

Nice to open the garage door again.

love

Thanks Paul.
I spent a productive hour in my garage re-packing the odds and ends I carry in the car.
Then a quick once over with a detailer.
