A few jobs done on my ol' boy to help him see the road again...
A full scrape and waxoil on the underneath.
Fun with an oxy acetylene torch to get the plug out of the rear diff (and what was possibly the original oil!) then replaced...
And not photographed, but also done... A high torque starter motor fettled onto one of Tim's 6-speeds, and an electric fuel pump and inertia switch... So a loss of the starter button, but a flick switch on the dash...
All in all, delighted to have a van that now starts reliably...
Happy shot back on the drive at home... (I might even get to post on 'Out And About' soon...
