Took the old Denso tape off the front springs. Gave them several brushings of a mixture of old engine oil and white spirit. Wrapped them back up in new Denso tape. A nice clean job for a warm day.

Don't suppose you could share a pic or two of this could you?  I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around your spring wrapping!   :-X

Nothing 😟 She’s poorly, brakes, but my daughter’s poorlier (if that’s a word), so more pressing things.

Peter if you need help doing yours. Wait for a dry day and plenty of other tinkering jobs as i did it over a period of four hours to let the mix seep in

Finished the cold start mixture assembly.

If there's any interest I can build a topic documenting the refurbishment of this, but mainly the refurbishment of the switch.

Yes please on the topic.  I have one to refurbish, and thank you for your helpful photos.

Tip run yesterday with 61 year old land rover and 30 year old trailer.

Third time this week.  The 2 previous times we wereloaded with ton bags of garden rubbish and cut down trees, one bag in the back of the land rover and 2 in the trailer.

The old girl is definitely earning her keep.

Went to a farm sale in Uttoxeter and my brother bought a small heap of logs with a bit of scrap wood and pallets thrown in.

As usual it turned out to be not so small a heap when on the trailer  :agh -- 14' 6" Ifor loaded 18" above the sideboards with the logs/wood and 3 heaps of 5 pallets down the centre.

It certainly made the dormobile sweat a bit on the hills to get back home but my brother now has a good proportion of the winter fuel for the log burner for the princely sum of £12 [plus a lot of hard graft and more to come to size the logs for the burner]

The trailer has now been emptied and is reloaded with my S1 trials motor ready for the P&D event tomorrow  -- and yes, judging by the performance of the dormobile, the logs were much heavier than the series 1 .

At the weekend used it to transport my model railway to a local show. Getting it in was an interesting affair, as more and more items were unscrewed and removed. A SWB does not have a lot of room inside.

It rained heavily on it on Sunday, dry inside - result!
