Discovered my wishbone bushes are breaked  >:(

But, at least the gearbox seems normal again, despite only taking a tiny amount of ATF (1l absolute max I reckon) :D

Changed the water pump, fixed the leak I have had.

then took it for a drive along the most glorious views from the most ghastly tracks. had to build the road up with rocks at one place just to get past.

Am a happy bunny ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Had some help with fitting a new rad on Saturday and it seems to have cured the hot running, although I won't know 100% until later today, but it looks like I've got a dodgy stat... Opens and shuts (by the feel of the rad hose) but car running exceptionally cool by the looks of it ::)

The good:
Fitted a new battery to the Kawasaki
Fitted a CID to TBE
Replaced F12 in TBE

The bad:
Lost the bike keys again  :-[
Explaining to my neighbour why the local BP ruins my tyres  :-[

Changed my heater Matrix.
Forgot to diconnect the battery so TB is going to sort that out at Newent  :y
Just need some spray glue to tidy the vinyl covering up.
It's not as good job as on the 'How to' but I'm pleased how it has worked out.

Got a years ticket on the landy after a couple of hours of prep, fabrication, welding (with borrowed kit) and tidying up.  And that included ticket time.

Bring on the snow!!   ;D
