On my old mk5 transit the belt went and bent the pushrods and I reckon a lot are sacrificially designed for the rockers to pop as much easier to do.

The old tranny just had a new belt the rods straightened in the vice.

Good luck in the new venture and if you are considering selling the sister on let me know.

There's a queue I'm afraid

New * Yaris just back from having signs. Had a lot of scratches but they are all hidden now.
It's a spare car just in case.



Nothing much to report, recent weekends racing have been cancelled, next weekend is cancelled all because of rain.
Work on Luton van is progressing slowly. Photos of that after my hols, when I'm hoping for Sun.

When you’ve fixed everything can you arrange to put it up for sale ready for October this year please when I will need a big comfy barge for a few months whilst working again.

Thanks.

Sorted. A folded up bit of paper on top of the battery to press it down more has worked 😂

Making good progress and half way.
Heater fan stopped working below half at Stratford area. Now at Birmingham Frankley services to get my glasses out of the boot. Heater fan coming in and out randomly when set to full now. Iirc these are based on E46 and I remember they have a hedgehog something that causes issues? Just some old car fun.
Anyway roof is staying down for now as 18C. Pushing on.

Check the earth points behind the headlights too as that’s a prime one for the pump failing when it’s actually cutting in and out because of the earth.

You’ll also be replacing headlight bulbs often which is the first clue. The tabs dissolve.

Everyone is looking for someone.

As title says 'Life,' and I reported my wife's death 3-1/2 years ago.
It's only right to mention that  I have somehow managed to find a new lovely lady.
It's very new,  but we are off to Sunny Beach quite soon on holiday.

She likes it. Can change gear too!

Yaris leg, wing, sill, doorskin. back wheel pointing in a strange direction.

I'm not one to brag, but how's this for a pole @chaseracer?

Few more photos tomorrow maybe.
I've had 10 hours on this today. That's not me in the photo either.
 

Not updated for a while and it's been a long day, but I'll just leave this here, and come back when I get a minute.
