OK so its a year on ...... park of the final bit of the exhaust has fallen off, the MOT is due, and the tax is due and the gear box is a bit iffy!  

Oh well, not long till wheels day, the charity hand over and the can am show at St Edwards .... must get out and get it fixed.

Sorry to hear that mate.... It all seems to come at once dunnit!!!!

Ah yes, along with the Pajero head killining itself and then Pajero getting broken into while outside the garage and loosing a load of tools, amber beacons and bull bars and car radio ...... and so it goes on!  Doom and Gloom .... but KISS driving is fantastic!  Got more in 2 weeks that I do in the shop for 4 weeks!!!!!

good on ya mate, they will miss you when you're gone!!!!

Gear box of Freedom is now out of the van (thanks Frank) and will be on its way to Ade in Weymouth for a rebuild. So somewhere between 3 - 5 weeks and the van should be running again.

Gear box is back and in Freedom.  Went for a short drive and the front UJ on the propshaft decided to fall to bits!  So after 4 hours sitting on the side of the road, the AA arranged for a local firm (Many thanks GRS Recovery, you did a great job) to collect it and take it back to Frank's Place.  So couldn't make the Weymouth cruise today.  So now looking for someone whocan redo the UJ.  Any ideas?

Got a repair kit/replacement from US Automotive for the front UJ.  Perfect, ordered on Thursday, arrived Friday and fitted by 5pm.  Now its all nice and smooth running, and it goes backwards!

Thanks to all who have helped, with time, knowledge, scraped knukles and a great deal of humour.

Good news Chris, see you Sunday.....Maybe.

Yup .... just sent you an email.  Looking forward to it?  Any car boot sales locally?

The van goes great ..... smooth, quite and I just think its fantastic!  

My Van is not sick anymore!
