Monitor and repair if necessary (advisories):
advised sligh lift osf kingpin
slight oil leak
Now to get it back and see what's happened about the hoodframe and what other niggles/issues there are. The O/D wasn't working so I'm hoping that they've fixed that for example as a new unit is 500 notes.
It's the best part of 15 years since it's been on the road so I guess it'll take me a bit of time to acclimatise myself to it again.

Good job the weather's supposed to be good as it's not got a hood.
My missus is going to fit a second hand one I bought soon, I hope.

No real idea. I'll probably have a better idea when it turns up here.
It's been in there all the time and they do the MOT tests so I guess that they decided to do it to see if anything needed doing. The guy who does my camper does the same thing so the MOT history is littered with it failing on minor things.

Well it's back and now on charge.
So far I've found a couple of minor niggles but will have a better idea of things after I've driven it.

What colour are you going for over that primer?
