With the trucks at work, DAF shite, when the light comes on you simply have to park up, metres from anything, so that rules out parking bays ::) and press a button...

The truck then revs its bollix off for anything upto an hour and a half ::)

Given that they spend all day doing 20mph, this happens alot ;D

.. and all in an environment where Kerosene is pi##ing through giant hairdryers all day long with gay abandon and no emission controls whatsoever, presumably? ;)

That's the one ;D

I would leave the thing running all day to mask the constant racket from the fridge unit... But the damn thing turns itself off if idle for a minute... Which involves turning it off to restart. Driving London must be such fun... :D

Oil, oil filter, pollen filter and air filter on the 3.2.

Then realised the multi-ram is broke again. Oops.

Well I broke it originally when changing HBV last year, fixed it, but was broken when I opened the bonnet yesterday.

Sealed it up again, as temp fix, vac leak off main brake servo. Where tube T bit goes off...



Performance appears fine top end, guess I’m lacking low down torque even with this sealed  :-\

Had plans to start replacing rear suspension links on the 190 after going to collect 140 litres of vegoil
However, Ive just sliced a finger down to the bone on one of the vegoil cans, so play is suspended for the moment.  :'( ::) ;D.

Got nowhere trying to fix the Infotainment in the Pussy. I have a sneaking suspicion this could end up being expensive...

New brake discs and pads on the 3.2, I also fixed the vac leak and multi-rams.  :)
