wesacosa Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 3 hours ago, wesacosa said: well first leg of the weekend hasn't gone well at all. despite burning midnight oil all week on Panda I couldn't get it ready. gave the Favorit which hasn't done much for a year or so a cursory glance late last night and set off for Hull this morning.. noticed some creaking on the steering when parking up. Turns out its had a spectacular steering gaitor failure and can't source a replacement from ECP or anywhere I can pick one up . Well believe it or not I have managed to make matters worse. I had the bright idea to take the inner end of the gaiter off to pack some more grease in before I taped up the broken outer edge. Now I can't get the bloody thing back on. the lip has flipped in on itself and everything is so slippy with grease I can't get a grip on anything. Oh, and its pissing rain. I am not sure how I am going to get to the show and or home at the moment rob88h, Grumblespeed, catsinthewelder and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure how I am going to get to the show and or home at the moment The gaiter is back on. Inner end ok but outer end is pretty destroyed even beyond gaffer tape. Given I am now stranded in Hull with no chance of getting a new gaiter I think the only thing I can do is pack it with grease before I go, and keep stopping to add more as we go. Or does anyone think that's the worst idea they ever heard?! 🤣 rob88h 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be a fair bit later than you I should think, that’s long Sutton isn’t it? I’m about 40 mins from there (I live 2 mins from the Swaffham A47 McDonald’s) and mrs JJ0063 is on late shift tonight so won’t be home until the early hours.. I don’t dare push my luck in asking to leave earlier than 8am! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ0063 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Anyone been before and know if there is any sort of food available at the show? I have just realised I haven’t been food shopping so just wondered if I need to stop on the way or whether there’s going to be some sort of catering/burger van or something there?
