  • Thought I'd post spome pics of today's ride out to Bramshaw in the New Forest, very nice indeed. Met some of the New Forest ponies, Jeep was more scared of them than they were of her :D This is what getting the jeep mechanically sound is all about. more

  • First off I added a picture of the Jeep's rear - no particular reason, I just thought I would.

  • Nice drive Saturday afternoon after work, thought a picture would be good, first proper one of the season with the summer top in place. Also photos of Daughter, Dog and Son - everyone loves the jeep (apart from the dog, she's a bit wary of it!) Sunday afternoon I fitted new bond (ground) straps to the underside of the radiator. They help... more

Once I had split the tube from its base, taken off the top and pulled out the main shaft, I could see the problem - the leather grommet which forms the main seal of the pump was the wrong... more

  • There seems to be space enough to add quite a few photos of yesterday's outing to Beaulieu. Trucks n' Troops is organised by South Hampshire MVT and held in the grounds of the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. There were plenty of beautiful vehicles there, the weather was great but sadly the visiting public was a little bit scarce. It was very... more
