What a day!
Jake:
I've been flat out since 7:30am!
Raced to macess to buy service parts and tube (to finish breathers) and bracket (to make good my 2nd electric socket)
Got home, quick bit of breakie then Skywalker (David) and his misses Elaine turned up to collect his roof rack. Much coffee later and we set of to SWMBO's mums (where i've been storing said roof rack). Helped fit it on to Dave's car and waved good bye.
Back home and off with NSF wheel from Big Blue. After reading the post the other day about the lad that was crushed by his motor i decided that, safety first and put two stands under the axle. Then changed caliper and shoes. Changed oil/filter. Fitted new spark plugs (V grooved electrode NGK's) and new 8mm yellow HT leads. Scratched arms and knuckles to pieces!!
Off with the OSF wheel and changed the pads. Put together new raised breathers (from both axles) and routed them to top of snorkle.
Undid the tow ball from Challenger and fitted new bracket for 2nd electrics (now i can run my fridge on the way to Billing, COLD DRINK ON ARRIVAL)
Finished!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, Doctor Who and several Smirnoff's with my name on :wink:
Thank g*d thats over with for another day.

400 mile round trip just to give Jake some money to spend at Billing :roll:
Good day though nice to meet Jake and his great family :D
Must pay more attention to GPS :shock: it said go on M40 so I did :cry:
unfortunately WEST :oops: instead of EAST :D
Never mind,. 15 mins detour saw us back on route to Scorpion, bit of a traffic jam near bottom of M1 / North Circular, missed turning, great big Tesco Lorry parked accross it, :evil: ,back thro traffic, round again, got there about 1:45 ish
to find
50% of stock had gone to Eastnor :cry:
Still got a few bits, had a coffee, got on M1 and queued for about 20 miles (no air con on Disco either)
Oh well home for 7:30pm to find I forgot to put beer in fridge :shock:
It's in freezer NOW though, so feet up for now
