Yes Tony - northern weather. Got first new cable threaded from dash OK then shook at the wrong moment when trying to thread through the tiny fitting at the carb. One thread unwound, followed by several more and before I knew it, the whole thing was knackered. The second new one is a solid single strand job so can’t fray. All I have to do is thread it through from the dash - and it won’t go through as easily as the twisted one

Look who's back on the road after 10 months! She safely made the trip home from Henley, smoking well every time the clutch was depressed. New parts ordered then difficult job of finding garage able and willing to fit them (I am just too disabled now, even struggling to hold soap during ablutions) I am enjoying the delights of crabbing again. Been battling for 2 weeks to fit a new choke cable as hands don't really work, but at least it is warm enough to start her without the choke. On my second replacement cable now as managed to mess up the first one. Dave

I have used Jawell paints for 15 years (no connection) and I think Chris first experienced their product when he worked on Mo I too have been working on a hole in the upper wing Chris 😏

Did you reverse the wires on the heater fan? Mine ran backwards and screamed before I realised

As I posted last September, Mo needs clutch replacement. I have the parts but stuck in my wheelchair can do nothing with them. No garages around here are willing to do the job so I am stuck. Mo has been standing since September and it is horrifying to see bodywork deterioration in that time. I now have a first hole in a wing and a door Can anyone suggest who can do the work? There is a local chap I know who can deliver Mo to wherever Thanks

Eventful trip from Newcastle to Henley on Thames yesterday. Smoke from under bonnet. Stopped at Sheffield services and it was coming from offside of engine. Brake not hot enough so spoke with Chris and he was equally baffled Continued journey and every time I braked I had the smoke and it was getting worse. Stopped for fuel and a van driver ran over to suggest I may be on fire. Reassured him I wasn’t. Then the penny dropped that each time I braked I also depressed the clutch. Yes, it was in the process of burning out. Managed to complete the drive and I am now 250 miles from home and doubtful if there is sufficient bite to get us home. First hill and I am stuck Her Ladyship however thinks there is nothing wrong and insists we travel to our second intended hotel for this evening. There will be ‘difficulties’ from her when we are in the cab of a recovery truck Good news for Snoopy though - the boot is empty apart from my mobility scooter!

Dave - at suggestion of Tony Woods I once tried to get hold of Ray House. Several calls and he just didn't answer his phone, something Tony advised may happen. I won't bother with him again, thanks
Andrew - I saw that ad. It is dated 6 months ago. I will contact him when pension day comes around again. Committed to minor bodywork repairs on Merc this month (garage expensive even for minor work now)
Thanks guys
Dave

B@@@@@@@. Someone has caught Mo’s front bumper and pulled it out of shape and possibly twisted the mounts. Great Searching for a different bumper now (Insert several Anglo Saxon words here)
