after the mid week issue of stiff steering and pulling brakes a rebuild was done, which was finished this afternoon. so i thought it rude not to test it all out, all back to normal again. a quick park up in the local park, river wyre in the background of first pic.

A cracking day out with John and “Lizzie” and sammy brought zen her spaniel along in the westy with me lol ( he loved every minute ) Here’s a few pictures from today, south over the Lecht to Glenshee then home over Strathdon, and we had a stop for pie ,cake and coffee 😃 finished off with a chippie tea 😁

a big thanks to wsc's parts dept 👍, wheel bearings and ball joints ordered late thurs afternoon and in my hands at 11am today. as long as my hands hold out, i should get the thing back on the road today...yay.

Nice run today

different application, but my last job as a fire alarm engineer saw me replacing these every 18 months to guarantee they worked as a back up power source, i fitted one of the ones i had removed from a job and fitted it in the comp car i had, it lasted all of 3 events - and yes it was a battery designed for cyclic use. we never stocked more batteries than we had in for planned maintenance due to the low shelf life. they were all genuine yuasa ones as well. the date stamp should be heat melted into the black top surface.

Yup and nope. But you can spot an ice cream van in the photo 😁 Was glorious up there today!

Great evening run out, 70 miles up the Llanberis Pass to Betws y Coed for some fish and chips and then back down the Nant Peris Pass below Snowden - good test of my Mintex pads

loving the 3 wheeler there, and once again you have reminded me i live in the wrong place 😄

Yup, I’ll be honest, i don’t know how old a date is considered reasonable in the battery industry, but personally I wouldn’t really want one longer than twelve months.

Around that would be good, not below 12.5 V. The trouble is though, if they bang them on a charger, even for just a bit of time, then immediately bring them out for you to test, the Voltage they show won’t be the real resting Voltage, it will still be higher than normal due to only just coming off the charger. Really you want to see what the voltage drops to overnight, after its been taken off charge. Wonder if they’ll try and resell Andy’s! (They said it would go for recycling, but you can take that two ways.) I’ll let Andy tell you how they messed him round from pillar to post, at two different Halfords branches. Shame is, I bought one from Halfords last year and it was fine, a good price too, but they appear to be down to the door stops and paper weights now, with these things.

It's a great looking car. I saw it at Caffeine and the Machine they had it on display the day they opened for the first time 27.10.2018.

Ideal for 16 wheel drive conversion

i wont sleep tonight now 🤣🤣

When I needed a new router I went with an Asus RTAC66U, which is more of a gaming router, but it's got a lot of nice features, like my own personal VPN server built in. As someone already commented, there's a better selection of dedicated routers, than there are modem/router, but also this translates to lower cost (on average).
