First home again - drat. Sorry we missed the visit this morning.

Big thank yous to Graham, Richard and Emma for a brilliant weekend. The
welcome was great, the craic was excellent and the company superb. Met a
few old (ish) friends and made a few new ones, just as it should be. See
you all in Malvern, God and the Mother-in-Law willing.

Picked up diesel at 99.9p near Evesham, which is more than I am used to.
Glad I did, however, when it was 102.9 on the M5. Jeez.

Cheers all. Hope you enjoyed the brewery visit and had a safe trip home.
To our hosts - thanks again.

Now a quick shower and off to soddin' Brighton. I love travel, but not this
much.

Couldn't make the Saturday as I was lying on my back under the &$^&%^&
Discovery trying to fix the rear prop and affix 6 downpipe studs

And after all that work - it's still spitting from the flanges and the

couldn't come!

Good weekend though. Thanks to Graham and Emma for that hard work!

Interestingly, burrt threw a spaz as we left grahams, and then never
missed a beat all the way home......

Just got to get out there in a bit and check the alternator etc....

Very nice looking truck too!

you're gonna need to replace it anyway to get it to mount securely, I
reckon. Hunt a nice big one while yer at it - 80A or suchlike.

Eh? To replace the 85A one that's on there?

I was chatting to a couple of them and asked how often people blow
their nose in their general direction, etc.

They said they were quite used to it - so I fetched them a shubbery...

Looks like a good old doo , though I NSMP when the garlic bread came on.

We had a few days at the site in Chatsworth, Tuesday to Sunday, lots of
rain :-(

Managed to scare myself and bottle a green lane just out of Chesterfield,
had to do a U turn as we were in the Disco (Chassis tanks)... funny how
those rutts seemed smaller when we did them in Morph.

So October then? Promise not to book owt else.... honest! Failing that we
are hoping to be at Eastnor and Malvern.

The spare wheel appears to be ratchet strapped to the roof on the grey 101..
nice looking bit of kit that.

Tom if you still want to go down this route you would do alot worse than
getting a wheel clamp from a RRC... have a nut welded to a plate and bolt
the plate to the roof... then I'd be tempted weld a couple of pins as
locators as a seconadary security.... another option is a old series wheel
mount with plasma appiled in all the appropriate places. Nice bit of rubber
to isolate it from the ally roof or alternatively you could galv it once
fabricated.

I'm not worried about the mounting. I've got brackets round the edge
of my roof already (bolted to the roof members) that i put there when
i chequer plated it, so could make some sort of mounting bar.

Its just the method of lifting the wheel up there!. I carried my spare
out of the back and down the garden the other day and i cant imagine
getting it up onto an ambi roof!

I was considering an ally ladder (light and cheap), some sort of
sledge, and a small hand winch but wondered if there was something
easier.

the plot thickens.....

Tested the alternator, getting readings from 13.9 to 14.4 ot the
voltage output, so that seems ok.

At the split charge diode I have about 13.8.....

The charge light doesn't ever completely go out, it is on failry dim
all the time, but does seem to become more dim the higher the
revs.....

Looking at the alternator, I have found that the +ve wire was
connected, the W is connected, but the third terminal is not
connected, and the wire that ought to connect to it looks as though
the terminal connector on the third wire has been snipped.... Any
particular reason why this might be done? The 101 Book seems to
reckon that not having the wire connected will put the light on dim.

Took the alternator off, bust my thumb open, and now the alternator is
sat in the house. Will clean up the terminals as they all look rusty,
and have stupidly high resistance and then refit it with all the wires
connected and see what happens to the charge light tomorrow.
