Card, you must have a stash of cereal boxes by now
I want to swap out the gearbox fluid Sat afternoon before I tramps North, really needs to get my axle oils swapped out but doubt I'll have time.

I don’t eat cereal really!! I have got lots of pizza boxes though although eaten clean and been training again since new year so less cardboard lol.

I've been training too, although mine goes along the lines of training myself to keep my mouth shut and the thoughts in my head or I'll end up unemployed lol
If I end up working away again, which it looks like I might, then it's going to be a gym membership for me with one of those nationwide chains and in stead of watching crap on NetFlix I will go get hot and sweaty watching the yoga classes lol

Just having funny visions of @dieseldog69 fast asleep on the yoga mat for a double lesson.
I worked away in construction most of my twenties. The done thing was finish the shift and straight into pub. Some even played cards etc in Garrick van and got a crate. This was every night. Smoking like a chimney, drinking heavily then waking up and doing a shift then repeat. Don’t ever get like that if you do! Not only does it mangle you physically but the mental toll is no good! Getting strong enough to bench press your gearbox in one hand whilst jiggling it with the other is a better idea haha. If I could go back and had to work away again, I’d set goals for each weekend, especially financially, pay out for a nice gym and look after myself! Biggest reason I go to the gym in mental well-being. The physical health is just a bonus for me!
Yes, I do a 24/7 one and when I plan it I can get in around meetings in different areas and gyms. Gives you access to all nationwide

Got the horrible awkward ****er of a repair done on the beam above the boot rear window and where it connects to the rear door area. Took hours but the results a winner and solid. Banged my head so many times trying to see what I was doing lol. That’s all that area done now. Going to go on to an easy repair in morning - rear arch and get ready for my boot floor tie in

I'm not really a drinker any more.
I used to like a nice long walk in the countryside from spring through summer and doing some groceries in as many towns as I could drive out to. If I was in my caravan and on a farm then I would try and get some rat shooting action and bag a pigeon for the oven.
I got many odd looks for my lack of a TV, I've met many a pizz head and lately I think they will likely be stoners and coke heads, but each to their own and all that lol

I'm putting off a couple of welding jobs as I just can't face it at the minute.It’s not like we’ve got habits that make little sense and cost a lot of money for pain
Never the less, I have mechanical things to cause me pain lol
Good effort on that bulkhead and the inner wing.
Really coming along now, just gotta keep you busy on it and encourage you a bit more

Mine does.
I think it’s EGR sensor.
Thanks! Seems I have the mech injectors and I also have the mech fuel pump I.e cable throttle but there were some oddities that I want to get to the bottom of and rip out. They were mainly a sensor and some vac lines

Leave as much of the EGR visible as poss, just not working. Saves the embarrassing questions at MoT time
I was going to cover as much as possible under the rubber cover? Can’t see can’t fail?

Couple of fellas I know have fitted sandwich plates in there and left the valve where it should be, they can only see it present but not whether it functions.
