Had a good drive to a farming related store - really pleased with the new Transit 4x4 clutch so far and the new windscreen wiper rack etc.
That cost enough this year. Whistle

Also, just as a warning to others beware of the driving standards out there.
I have seen a significant surge in poor and dangerous driving standards lately.

A few weeks ago I witnessed someone slamming of the indicator, and brakes and stopping in a couple of seconds on a 50mph road causing almost a pile up. In effect no awareness and perception, more interested in their turn off and finding addresses with no thought of other traffic and speed.

Today, about 50mph on a sweeping bend a car was coming the other way luckily some distance away and he was 50% into my lane coming head on.
The reason, me being in the Defender I could clearly see he was looking down at the phone and in the process was basically on the opposite side of the road on the bend.
In other words in my lane head on!
National speed limit, would be a combined collision speed of 100mph+ at least. Neutral

In the same sort of area within a couple of miles of that location a few weeks ago there was a fatality.
Police motorcycles speed trap was out today as well.

So beware out there, it’s got markedly dangerous I have noticed recently so be careful out there. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧

Couldn’t agree more Steve, the state of driving in this country has dropped through the floor very recently, since Covid I think. Not sure why it’s also suddenly become acceptable to use your phone whilst driving now either, again since covid it’s gotten considerably worse.

Changed the front right calliper and front pads, minor leak from one piston, for me easier to replace than try to refurbish. Now the vehicle is back on the road I will refurbish at my leisure the calliper that came off so I have a spare, and can do it in the future if I need to.

Passed another MOT, two minor advisories that I was pretty much aware of anyway so all good with that.
Can’t believe how quickly it’s came around since the last one. Shocked

The standard windscreen washer is made of 2 parts... but is a problem when it separates at the wrong place Whistle !

It eventually split at the location that it should, but the damage was already done.

For possibly the second time ever, cleaned it. The top of it anyway. I’ve spent a lot more time keeping the oily underneath bits nice.

Of course it rained immediately afterwards.

After doing my oil service this week - today I took the old oil to the recycling centre and gave the car a little test drive whilst I was at it. Felt nice and smooth but that could totally just be my imagination.

Done the old prop shaft greasing regime and the other bits and pieces that needs periodic greasing.

At least it wasn’t raining. Laughing

Hoping to change the diff oil soon. Diesel$ Live$ Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️ RED, WHITE & BOOST! 🇬🇧
