800 miles or so since the service on Wednesday. It got a replacement tyre Thursday, then went to Nottingham, North Yorkshire, Nottingham and back home :y
Ah, yes, forgot about my trip to the land of webbed feet, around your neck of the woods, on Thursday.

Coming home, gave TBE a damn sound spanking, so despite catching the back end of rush hour traffic as I left there at just after 5:30, and those dreary miles of average speed cameras (and the pointless 40mph limit past Cambridge in the road works that have long been completed), I was back home in under 2hrs.

Had to leave it running for 15mins whilst I unloaded to let the old girl calm down properly.


Mrs TB ran out of oil in the Bullet on the same day. Again.

Replaced the diff oil in the 3.2 Elite, as advertised it took 1.1ltr of oil. The stuff that came out was filthy :o after only 60K, so the TD is next at 129K. :y

and just ordered a new one, from eternal on ebay. Centre section is fine, it's almost completely sheared off going into the back box, so I think i can get the other bits off and allow me to slide new back box on.

Fingers crossed!

Getting the 3.2 done locally this week, new condensor needed. Actually going to use garage who MOT'd it last, too much hassle at the moment to get back to Brackers.

Took the Battlebus for a spin to look at a potential MV6 replacement, then prompted ragged the nadges nadgers off it on the way home, pissing off plenty of dweebs by outbraking and out corning them, only to be mullered on the straights.

And that's on plastic tyres that just will not wear....   ....or grip

Found out I can't open the bonnet to put the battery back on-or do anything else under there either- >:( This damn car is trying my patience to the limit!
