Greased the brakes ready for a trip away to mid Wales this weekend.  They won't squeak now!

Well if I were you I would fix the hub oil seal while you are in there to stop any of that grease being able to leak out of the brakes and into the bearings 
I would also consider what colour underwear to put on for the trip!

Emptied it.... Tent drying out in the shed.

Finished the upholstery on the LR and put a bit of wood capping on tub to give an uplift plus step.

That looks great.
So after the wedding can you leave it like that for next year's SwW or SPH camping and I'll sit in the back when we go laning.
I'll bring the fridge and the 'Bolly'

Only if you dress up and look like royalty in the back. Could be a fancy dress theme.

Do you like the wood capping?

Wipers removed in preparation for fitting heated windscreen finally, New digital voltage regulator fitted, trim pot added to coolant gauge. 

Busy now painting the wiper guides after kurrusting them both

Finally fixed the driver's door!  At last it now closes smoothly and shuts firmly with no rattles.

Took the excellent tips posted on this forum about buying new hinge pins (they cost peanuts), putting a very small brass washer under the ball hinge, packed the hinges (top & bottom) with grease, and then tightened up the nuts as tight as felt right to prevent any movement in the hinges.

I really love it when a niggling, long-lasting fault is finally resolved.....

Went to our local garage to fill up for the club run out on the 14th, was running well... But on the way back it was stalling and wouldn't tick over, guess muck in the jets.

Try the old "book over the carb inlet" trick. With the engine running it can help suck any dirt out of the jets - else a strip down is needed.

Hi Wittsend, yes tried the book trick after posting and it seems to be a bit better, it's ticking over but lumpy so I'll have another go tomorrow and see how it is.

E10 issue? If not using much stick to E5?

Confirming that I got an email from "The Forestry" today confirming we have been granted the Permit for the 14th...
