Yes, far too young a motor for this forum I'm sure, but its a gooden & one day will be old enough
Anyways, we had to make a 'blat' from home in Southern Brittany to Silloth in Cumbria.
Anyways pre-empting this blat, (TW had a squealy brake syndrome from the fronts.) A quick strip down, clean with brake cleaner & some copper slip on the rear of the pads seems to have solved that one. I spied a split outer CV Boot on the drivers side whilst doing this.......
Sunday 03/02/19 saw us depart home at 0715 for a chunnel crossing at 1420.
TW just munched the miles.....
Once out of the chunnel we continued up to Allestree (Derby) for an overnighter with my Mum.
Monday 04/02 saw us moving northwards towards Silloth using the M6. TW just took this 'spin' in his stride, arriving purring as ever after 800 miles in 2 days!
TW tipped over the 130,000 miles mark on the run. Just run in nicely now then!
As I type he is in Robinsons Car & Commercial in Silloth having that boot replaced & a well deserved oil & filter change.
^^^^I gave TW a spruce up on Mum-in-laws front drive the other day. Across the road is the 'beach' then the Solway Firth, that was a windy old wash!!!
Posting just because I'm proud of the 'not so old' (15yrs to be exact) bus for just getting us here with no complaints.
