Howdy all,
Had another good play with ingrid yesterday, we had a real problem bleeding the brakes and we were just emptying the master cylinder to take it off when a big bubble appeared from nowhere and it cured itself.
Can't really take it on the road as we're missing lots of lights/horn type things in our 24V conversion. We've a dodgy kingpin we need to fix, so in the interests of knowing what we're doing we're going to take spares mog apart first and get a feel for it.
So out comes the bar, and a test of the winch;

Overall, a nice day of being a little boy with a big toy.

Hi Jim,
I'll be interested to know how you get on with the king pins, mines got loads of play on one side, been meaning to get round to striping it down for ages! Hopefully they can be repaired without buying lots of expensive bits

Does everyone you know tell you every time they've seen a mog? My mate was on a road/rail one and called me to tell me! People at work come up with pictures on their phone.
