Re: The Fleet blog
Went down to Malcolm's this morning, what a lot of BX Estates outside his place? TZD needed a replacement alternator and then decided she didnt like her offside rear brake pipe and so it let go in front of Malcolms lock up. Luckily i had a spare and he fixed that as well!!

Sophie had Malcolm on his knees this morning, rightly so as she is a MK 1!!

Re: The Fleet blog
Yes Tim, had a set of bloody GSF ones on from last year, barely lasted a 12 month.
Had a result though with the TZD and the potential disaster with the oil cooler coming apert the other day. I have seemed to have fixed the rather drastic and constant oil leak i have had for the last year. No drips at all last night, even when i took her for a spin into T Wells, nothing at all left on the car park so at least something good has come of it.
Now back into T Wells for a complete set of boots for the L200. That will nearly break the bank ime sure!!

Re: The Fleet blog
As i was fitting new tyres all round on the L200 decided to fit a spare on the alloy replacement rim i had lying around for the TZD. Old spare was worn and cracking and could only be fitted using standard bolts which of course i carried. This wheel with the spacers will be able to be used with the alloy bolts.

Went down to St Leonards again today to see Malcolm and meet Chris Salter and his DS.
She looks pretty good, Malcolm n Chris still pretty ugly!!
Still plenty of BXs around.

Re: The Fleet blog
On another tack, i have been informed by Rob Moss at Chevronics that Elsie, my GSA C Matic has been road tested and runs ok. The hydraulic leak must have also been fixed to do this. I have been asked if i should keep the C matic box or replace it with a 5 speed manual. Think i will keep it original and keep the C matic transmission.
