Just had the spare tyre swapped on our Autosleeper. Yep, that's a 1992 date code. It still had the little whiskers on the tread so it's never seen the road in its whole life.:oops: Nice new pair of Maxxis Vansmarts fitted to the front. I parked in the shade in the supermarket carpark but it...

Another hot one. 23c when i got back at 8am. 32c forecast today. One of the woods has now gained a name (not that i can pronounce it, but its got a name) and an information board. Theres a deer somewhere in those woods.

Already 20c when i took the dogs out at 7am. Got back at 8:30 and it was nearly 23c. Sun was still low enough that there was shade around the reservoir.

Nice pool for a morning dip.

Finally found why the AC wouldn't switch on the fans or compressor clutch. A badly repaired wiring plug at the pressure switch (the wires were just twisted together and pushed into the plug) so it was barely making contact. Waggling the plug made the clutch engage and the radiator fans spin up...

Another nice looking sunset last night. It was 20c (68f) at 7:45am when i took the dogs out. Forecast 27c by lunchtime. But also a 60% chance of rain. :unsure: Some bits of shade in the woods round the quarry which was nice. The dogs appreciated this watering hole.

Quick coat of gloss black on the numbers matching (date stamped 17/93) steel wheels on our Autosleeper clubman. Plus I wire brushed and painted the spare wheel ready to replace it's 30 year old tyre on Wednesday.

This was the weather all day here. :( Bought a pair of Maxxis vansmart tyres (the same as i have on my daily driver caravelle). They'll get fitted on wednesday while i'm doing the weekly shop which saves doing an extra 25 mile round trip to get them done.

Gonna have to replace a pair of tyres as they've got age related/UV cracking on the sidewalls which is annoying as they've only done a couple of thousand miles. Its running 195/70/15 on stock steel rims but i'm not sure whether to go with summer tyres or to fit all seasons. Theres only around a...

Drizzly and horrible weather again this morning. Got soaked to the skin walking the dogs. :rolleyes:

Pembrokeshire summer. :rolleyes:

You'll probably get flooding again. My brother in laws parents have only been back in their house in Hull a couple of months after the last time it flooded.

Water level is slowly dropping in the reservoir. Soon we'll be able to wall all along the shore without having to climb through bushes and trees. Lucy watching a suspicious bit of foam. Holly stripping the bark off a branch.

Electricity board helicopter checking the power lines. Its the same colour as the air ambulance so it looked quite ominous as i thought it was landing in the field across the road. :rolleyes: Been having a look at the A/C plumbing trying to work out where the fill point is in the system. There...

Yeah, i've not found one though the exhaust pipe in the heat exchangers are enclosed in an outer skin so unable to fully check. Richening up the idle screw makes it pop less though that could possibly just masking up a leak somewhere.

It would be handy. Had a good run around with the classis car club on their mid summer run yesterday. Only around 45 miles or so but the bug got to stretch her legs a bit. I really need to give it a proper tune up as i'm still getting a bit of popping on overrun on a closed throttle. I think...

Appears no-one can get quantities right when selling on ebay. I bought two sets of points for my model railway and 4 arrived. I also bought a 125ml tin of brake caliper paint and a 250ml tin arrived. I think i'm being watched.:ROFLMAO: I'm starting to get quite a collection now. All now...

Grazing their way round the woods. Loads of Foxgloves everywhere in the woods.

Someone was walking their dogs in the field across the road last night. When they tried to get them into the car to leave they saw my two in the garden and one came running across the road and jumped the wall into our garden to have a go at them. It was muzzled as its apparently not friendly...

You can start them with a screwdriver or any flat piece of metal. ;) I'm just going to replace the tyre valve on the one that failed. I've got one of those cheap valve tools that allows you to remove and replace without taking the tyre off the rim. Saves me about £10 or more for the labour and...
