Dave's la(te)st buggy build...

With THANKS to Martin and James, all the parts are now here to sort the Boogie -

Martin

2 rear brake pistons and new shoes - the nearside piston has gone pissing brake fluid all over the pads, so I figured it's best to swap both pistons, and renew the pads...

2 radiator hoses - the bottom hose has split, so I thought it best to swap both bottom and top hoses.

James

In conversation with James about parts for the next buggy "lil'bugga", he offered me some very reasnably priced new callipers for the second buggy, so in the end I ended up asking for...

6 front brake callipers (cleared him out!) so 4 for lil'bugga and 2 for the Boogie - if I'm replacing the rear pistons and the front callipers were so reasonable I thought I might as well do them at the same time, as I'll be bleeding anyway...

More after repairs on Sunday... but just to let you know I'm still around, just been busy and a bit quiet on here of late...

Nice one Dave

Excellent!

Yeah I know what you mean Dave. Makes me think about what must be involved in having a youtube channel. I watching a bit of Matt's Revevory and they must have someone full-time making video.

The blog of today's latest failed trip is now up -  jimnybuggy.com/2021/09/26/nooooooo-not-again/

The head gasket seems to have gone again... it will be passed back to the garage who did the head gasket work to investigate and remedy...
