Fuel
Clock

Sticking with the tdi
I'm Sticking with the tdi, fuel consumtion seems okay atm, worked out at 22mpg that included a blast to kingsoms at motorway speeds, and the last event + snow driving + comuting to work in traffic, so 30 mpg might be possible on the open road at sensible speeds. Summer project could possibly entail ...

Heater is now fixed
My heater is now fixed, I changed the thermostat, and due to the shape of the engine and the fact that the designers couldnt make everything inaccesible, it seems some component must end up being on the outside at the top, it was the thermostat, 2 bolts, pop the old one out and shove the new one in,...

I am now an expert at dodgy wiring
I am now an expert at dodgy wiring, after the bodge job I found at the rear. It seems the cig lighter and internal lights had failed when I came to pump up my tyres. 1. Look for any wiring that has insulation tape on it (mine revealed 2 wires just twisted together, and then a badly crimped earth) 2....

Now you tell me, next time I will probably
Now you tell me, next time I will probably use self tappers ( but thats tricks of the trade for you ) Even the Nato hitch threw in a minor quibble, seems with high tensile cap head screws and washer the thing fouls on the bolt heads, washers removed, the thing now rotates.

Swing away / Barrel replacment
The offer is apperciated but I will pass as I think i am gonna mount it on the bulkhead, more usable space in the back.
