          Need to service it first but need to empty my 25L oil drum first.
          You could drop me that battery and I'll charge it and do it down at Micks over weekend.

                    Well seemed a shame as thats the wheels off for first time in years (really !) to give them a quick polish and wipe down/clean and add some more zinc paint to the backs

                    I usually hate this type of job but was OK for a change

                      Well worth doing when the wheels are off.
                      I'm sure it always must look nice when a car goes for an MOT and the tester sees nice clean wheels when on the ramp.

                        Wheels washed, cleaned, polished, coat of zinc stuff, weird finish off that screwfix stuff but seems OK, some light dust of stone guard and wheels done.

                        Mamnaged to sort handbrake adjustment without taking drums off. 340NM to rump the shafts back up again if I had to drop them off.

                              Bob yes, fun

                              It was a tad cold but sun was out, was not wet, I was outside a fair bit for a change or as long as I could feel my fingers but just being somewhere other than at the desk was great for a while.

                              Esepcially if you can make fix or acomplish something other than throw the keyboard around the room

                                It's freezing outside here today, minus something or other.

                                Took my lights down then inside to defrost.
