How long did that lot take to write?

Brakes and unusual nipples!! The vertical T and nipple apparently was the way to go. It was made locally by a brake and hydraulic shop. It leaked from a minute pin hole! After having spent a lot of time figuring things out and talking to a...

Sometime back my dad changed from 'commercial' to 'private' which meant that the need to have the LR inspected yearly by the transport authority was no longer. A type of MOT but rather slack. The process was the mother of nightmares! The emphasis...

Fix the leaks, clean engine, box and engine bay. Get a new MOT...job done.
