Week 5 January 2020

So lets see if we can improve things going into 2020. (i’ll give it a month….) Got back to work after about a month off. My Read more about Week 5 January 2020[…]

They are adamant that the EGR valve has failed. I’m not convinced, it’s been changed for a new one Read more about Week 18 2019[…]

First blog post for a while…… Well this is the new and hopefully improved website. I’m much more comfortable with this one as it’s actually doing something specific. Its going to be a showcase (if that’s the right word) of the various cars, bikes and vehicles i’ve owned. Different projects i’ve either done or been Read more about Wednesday 27th March 2019[…]
