Hey up folks,
Its been a while but a fair bit has happened in the in between times, namely its been quiet on the landy front due to myself and Beth purchasing, doing up and moving into our own house which is the best thing since sliced bread, no more paying rent and someone else`s mortgage.
Freda is going alright now I`ve replaced one of the inter-cooler hoses which split leaving her with substantial power loss, now climbs the hills around here in 3rd no problem.
The gearbox will want looking at, at some point due to the chucking reverse out and clutch growl but other than that its made her a far more easy to drive around here, and cruising around on the bigger road is comfortable now.
Freda also acquired a rather nice shiny bit in the shape of a 6t recovery winch, that was offered to me by a local garage, bit of a story behind it so grab a cuppa and a biscuit.
The winch was ordered through the garage and sent out the customer who promptly sent it back without opening it claiming it was faulty,
the garage opened it up, fitted it the front of their 110 and tested for a month, no problems found but then they couldn't sell it for full price due having opened and used it, so offered it to me for the pricely sum of £100.
I've just finished wiring it in, and test it at work tomorrow.
Cheers folks Chris.
