Been waaaaay to quite on here recently, mainly due to officially becoming an civvy and getting started a new job with Munkie of this parish
but also TET took up alot of my time with the engine starting to run really rough at times
thought it was just injectors so swapped them over with a set I got from Nuggs, then had trouble starting until Jimmy74 popped over and gave us a tow start and ended up with head gasket symptoms
Following night me and Jimmy took the head off, no signs of damage on the gasket but putting a straight edge to the head found it warped, and to be safe did the same to the block and found the same there too
a few calls to people (and using the AWFFR for daily commuting too) found a replacement 2.5 n/a from the man hero that is Joskin
Old engine coming out.
To say Joskin in a hero is too little a word for the guy, not only did he bring it down and meet me at mine on his day off from work after I got home but he already had it out and on the drive and ready to swap a few bits over and helped fit in the engine bay that very same night, what a big start of a man he his
A few days of making sure its all running ok on the run to work Sara had a couple of water safety jobs to go to in London with her kayak, so early Saturday morning TET got us to the East End
With tomorrows event happening in the early morning at Thorpe Park we thought TET should do some sight seeing in the big Village
As close as we could get to the Millennium Dome.
Amongst the bankers at Canary Wharf.
The Tower of the Village
And a big bridge next to it!!!.
A big wheel next to that big stream.
That big busy building with a big clock on it.
And the local abby and church.
Where the Guards like to march about on Liz's birthday (and me in my old job back on a certain Sqn now and again).
Onwards to Liz's Village house.
She wasn't in though.
Found something older the TET out and about too!!!
That old sailor from Norfolk.
Not a Big Top in sight!!!
The Cenotaph.
Waiting for James.
Feeling the power!
Royal Hospital Chelsea.
Twickenham.
Kew Gardens (well the outside at least)
And after a fun and wet day on Sunday at Thorpe Park we made one more stop for dinner on the way home
