Work has been quiet so I've been making myself "useful" elsewhere.

Annoyingly the regular job I have at the moment is from 6 till 9 every weekday evening so this may affect times for off roading with you lot

ermmmmm same here, i still got a few smaller jobs to do, ones the passanger window dont work proplerly, I need to fit my new bumper, ect ect.

I want to get under there in the summer june/july time and break out the waxoyl.

Seems fairly clean. I think (touch wood) the biggest job will be the rear door shuts where it rots on the top of the arch.

My wish list in order is:

Ext breathers
Snorkel
tank guard inc towbar
Spot lights
CB
Replacing the suspention (its already shot) with HD - but standard ht
rock sliders (to replace the steps)
HD bumper
Winch

Something went wrong. Driving back home from Martlesham and the radio went off along with the clock. Got home and the interior light didn't come on nor did the boot light.

I am guessing the fuse has blown in the satellite box. 20 amp one according to the book.

I knew I should have removed that pesky cable that was scotch locked onto a purple cable in the radio loom. I bet that's touched something and blew the fuse

Sound like the cause?

New 20 amp fuse and it's good again Just got to fix the spliced cable now that someone had put in and that should stop it from happening again.

Where is the best place to tap in a connection for a CB? I want permanent live really so I can use it without the keys in. Or am I best running a cable from the positive on the battery into the CB (with a fuse obviously)?
