Hi Simon,

Good grief. You must be beside yourself. Can you get referred in to the
neurology department by an emergency call out service ?
Best wishes to you both.

Well worth looking here before setting off....

Traffic England web site , tells you what the gantrys say too

http://makeashorterlink.com/?I65012C3D

I'll be rolling around 3.30 to 4.00 I guess after the usual last minute run
around for sumat.

I'm looking to cruise hopefully around 50 with the Caravan on Morph so not
too fussed about slow traffic through spagetti Junct. Usually worse North
bound till you get to Junct 8 M6 which is the link I think to the M5... I'd
guess you may catch us up. CB will be on 30 if you have one fitted. I'd
guess we will stop half way too

Keele SB has LPG.... Stafford only got it Northbound on the rare occasion
it's freakin working.

Hoping to have the escape hatch removed so you may see Mrs D perched up top
with biggles stylie goggles and spitting flies just to get some breeze.

Yeah same here, fingers crossed for you both. It's trumatic enough without
natures little complications.

I had a heart attack scare last April.. rushed in after calling NHS direct,
went to see GP who wisked me of in an Ambulance.... 4 hours later got the
muscular line and sent home....2 days off sick home alone in the day,
****ing long days those were too... I felt like sitting on the door step all
day incase owt did happen.

I had similar many years ago, turned out to be nothing but stress but
the days do suddenly get very very long. Health scares, both to
yourself and to loved ones, especially pregnant wives, certainly put
all that crap about terrorism and global warming etc etc ad infinitum
in their place!

I must agree.
There's nothing like a heart attack to bring a bit of perspective into your life.
I'm glad I had mine before my wife got cancer because I knew what it was like
to know I was dying and I could see her priorities and leave my stuff until
later.

Certainly it makes my EAS problems look trivial but made me smart enough
to turn it into a game.

flamin' ridiculous. comes of nicking all the foreign countries' doctors on
accoutn of successive governements having consistently failed to fund enough
training for such in this country. which apart from being ridiculously
short-sighted is also morally bankrupt.

and this lot have reached the point where blaming previous administrations
is getting a bit thin, IMHO.

can you afford private treatment?

Can claim back through Medicash once we have had the treatment but
need the cash first.

Actually, did make it to eastnor. Got home from work to find the back
doors of Burt open, thought some theiving pikeys had got in until I
saw SWMBO in there. She had managed to get into burt with the
clothes, and asked me to pack everything around her. She travelled
down in the back, and we got there *late* Friday night, and got back
about an hour ago.

Seems to have done her the world of good though. She couldn't walk
very far, just being able to meet old friends and some new ones lifted
her quite considerably! She's still in a lot of pain, but much
happier now!

She certainly looked more comfortable by the end of the weekend. Good
weather, good friends, good food and good Pimms were obviously what was
needed :)

Yep good to see the lap record from the gazebo to Burrt being smashed with
each attempt, I think the medicinal qualities of Pimms may have been the
clincher.

I've managed to catch the sun despite wandering around on Saturday uunder a
unbrella, still got frazzelled. At least I think it was the Sun, could have
been Morph...dammed hot!

Kids had a great time too.

ah. bit chicken-and-eggy, I assume you end up having to borrow the money,
if you want to do it.

glad to hear it. pass on my best wishes, BTW, notwithstanding differences

It should be recognised as such, and available on prescription IMO...

I believe Pimms is available if you go private.

I went private just over one month ago, just in time for no less than
three serious health scares to surface in the space of three weeks
(hence my non-attendance at Eastnor). Pimms or no pimms, I'd prefer a
3-day wait for an MRI scan to the current 3-month wait at my NHS
outlets!

Also the pinz is now on its third hub leak, it seems the seals have
gone oval through it sitting still doing nothing for several years, I
wonder if Pimms will do the job on that!

chap down the road a bit had an odd 4x4 chassis outside his workshop a bit
back - I looked at it in passing but didn't recognise it. Now it's got its
cab back on I see it's a "little" unimog - I've always rather fancied one of
them... didn't realise that they're on portal axles, too.

Wonder if a dose of CarbonTet would wake them up.

Might be a mog 404, they're relatively small compared to the modern
monsters, but very old and very thirsty. Also still too large for my
liking, otherwise I'd have bought one as they're available at
reasonable prices (i.e. sommat in the region of £3,000-£7,000).

One down, five to go, I've only fixed one so far, I was advised to run
it for a while on the second as they sometimes go away, but it's not
gone and now a third has cropped up. They don't leak much but there's
less than half a litre in the portal reduction hub so it's worth
fixing. They don't leak normally, it's a well-designed setup, it's
just that mine's been sat still for so long.

Work involved is relatively minor, just take off wheel and brake
shoes, undo bolts on brake backing plate then knock off the entire
wheel drive unit with large cog on wheel flange, small cog on stub
axle. Pull off large cog (the hardest bit), bash flange out of
bearing, replace seal, replace bearing, put it back together.

Possibly but I don't think it's worth trying, I was expecting the
third leak before it happened as the wheel was showing signs of
bearing wear, chances are the seal is fine and it's bearing movement
that's the problem, I'll just replace them both while it's apart.

I think it is a 404, old one anyway. They're petrol things, so obvious
target for an LPG conversion, innit.
