I didn't get time to chat properly as he got a call from his boss after he'd WhatsApp 'd a video of it to him and the Mrs was already late for work! I'd imagine they're Recip Trial's looking at them though.

Nice one.
Keeping mobile in these conditions is why I drive 4x4s. It is ever since I mashed up my RS2000 back in a bad snowfall in the mid 1980s. I bought an old Landy there and then followed by a Suzuki LJ and never looked back. You all know I don't do mudplugging type of stuff but I do do snow.

Today I got the Jimjam out of the garage as my 2 year old wanted to go out in "Daddy's Tractor".

I got to the end of the Close and he decided he didn't want to go for "a drive through the trees" (local green laning) after all!

It's a good job as when I put it straight back in the garage, not feeling at all frustrated, I saw this:




I don't mean the ugly face either!

All fixed now. Like, just now!

I replaced the King Pin bearings and the wheel bearing last night as I had pressed a new wheel bearing into a spare hub some time ago and had the King Pin bearings in the garage ready too.

Test driving it reveals no more leaks and no death wobble. So all is good!

I used to Off-Road it heavily and bought lots of spares to make things easier!

I did a couple of local lanes before the Tesco run. You get some strange looks pulling up in the parent and child bays in this all muddy!
