Anderzander Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 😂 I’m just trying to trick him into starting the RR 😊 Seriously though - They do generate never ending lists, my 90 is certainly generating jobs faster than I can get them done …. but it’s drivable ….and I was thinking John’s 109’s been rewired and what not and seems to have come back into being ready to go - the ambulance has successfully done some chunky trips ..  so could they stand being ignored for a bit in favour of the RR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep pointing out to him that just fitting a big electric winch makes far more sense than messing about with hydraulic. Especially as in his words "I've barely needed a winch so far". He could have it sorted in a weekend instead of messing about for months. In fact if @FridgeFreezer were to fit an electric motor to a H14........

Escape Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It's not just about having a winch, especially if you rarely used, it's about the build of a winch you really want. I need to go that way as well, not looking forward to the process (especially rebuilding the burned out Milemarker I took apart 5 years ago and barely remember where all the parts are...) but very much looking forward to using it if I ever get it running. 😉 I must admit I have though about throwing a leccy winch on Tommy, just because it would be so easy and cheap to do.

Mike Telling John it makes sense is probably the reason he won’t do it; how does owning not one, but two 4.6 v8s ever makes sense to, well, anyone? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffR Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Carry on undoing previously badly done repairs to 200tdi, replace seized A frame bushes, get the bloody thing through an MOT so I can set fire to the family passat and toast marshmallows on the resulting conflagration. passat has an intermittent battery drain, 5 effing days of testing and can't find a problem (no its not the alternator (new genuine part) or the battery (new yuasa) nor any of the earths or broken wire), but best of all I need to fully recover from the 4x3mm spiky kidney stones that decided to migrate from my left kidney to my bladder just before Christmas (morphine/assorted opiates REALLY helped with that, A&E consultant has stolen my description (trying to urinate an angry  herd of hedgehogs wearing hobnail boots and crampons...) Did I mention torching the family Passat? selling tickets for that one. I really hate that car, especially after its recent unscheduled alternator disassembly in the middle of bloody nowhere just over the crest of a blind bend (adrenaline is brown and smelly), not to mention the 8.5hour wait for the RAC to arrive.
