Gave the Discovery a wash & polish today ready for a trip up north next week.

Can't believe she's 8.5 years old. Still looks great and never seems to age!

Came home from work early to have a look at a fuel problem on the Landy - Not yet sorted. So -

Took out today into town (Edinburgh) nice drive and warm and stopped to check air in tyers and pleaseny found only back where out a bit and front drivers as suspected was low but all done and had a good drive in , getting use to having overdrive and I just admit it does make a difference noise wise, getting up to speed was easy enough as all roads round here are max 50mph so easily kept to speed limit and wasn't holding up traffic in any way I think she loved having a good run.

Fixed the lights on the stock trailer by lashing on a trailer board, then up to Glenfarg to collect 4 pigs. Scenic route home in the rain via Dunning and Auchterarder.... Got home to find the pigs were asleep ! Lord knows how they managed that in a very rattly Ifor Willams, especially given the potholes on our track at the finish.
If its not broken you are not trying hard enough....

Eric home some tweaking to do on brakes and cluch, adjust or remove rear mud flap due to exhaust and showed him to mate who's been waiting so patient to see him .
