Ah, yes, about that. Still going, but there's a problem with getting time off. Sadly I'm on lates, so can't leave work until 10pm on Friday.

Only hope is that we're quiet on the day and I can leave early or play it by ear, so to speak.

I need to speak with LF, and see if they are ok with us arriving early hours. Which is a bit unfair. May have to leave it until early sat morning. :'(

Hmmm decisions, decisions...

...I could leave 5pm Thursday, arriving around 9-9:30pm...
...or 8am Friday, arriving around 1-2pm...
...or most likely, around 2pm, arriving god knows given Friday traffic...

.....Mrs Gixer asleep

Not a hope.  ;D

I could pack in the morning, and H meet me at work. That way leaving Sluff at 10 sharp. Google maps says 5 hours to Keswick. Making 3pm. Might make 2pm ish?

Certainly a good time to travel.  :)

LPG won't make 300 miles though, will it?

Where do gas heads fill up on this trip?

One about 2m off M6 at Morrisons in Leyland, or if you can make to A66, the Total about 1m off the M6 on the A66 sells it (or did last year)

Uphill garden thing is breaked btw. I did a good job repairing the wires, took the back off, unplugged the cable from the board, cut out the damaged section, re soldered. Screen now works.

Only to reveal a fault code and " please wait " message, believed to be a faulty control knob issue according to some web sites.

So one less job to do there.  :'(

unless I can source another from somewhere.

For me, I should be able to make Brakkers to Penrith/A66 station on one tank if its not stop/start all the way.  The last tank on the MV6 was only 260m

Google street view shows two prices, at leyland 90p and 97p  ... if only. Must be old data.  :y

Nothing obvious, no kinks to speak of, it does light up. But one of the four LEDs is dim. Other than that...

Control box looks ok although theres some sort of heat sink thing thats a bit burnt. Presume it's the controller knob. :-/

Fuse had blown as you said though, could the screen cable fault cause that?
