Out For A Loaf Of Bread

[Andi]

Yesterday was sooo nice, and would probably be the last time I take the car out before it`s sorned

until next year. So I went out to get some bread and took the scenice route.

Ive never know these country roads so quiet, must have been no more than 2 cars in front of me for nearly 20 miles.

Driving pleasure it was. (Now wondering if October may be sunny hmmmm!!!!)

It looks to me you have a gearbox mounting problem?

Gear lever should not float about that freely.

I put new wheels and tyres on mine yesterday and went for a trip around the village in order to bed the new studs in.

Two and a half hours later when I got back, they were all ok.

Yes, it is a bit flappy.

The car has some history with gear boxes I believe

Gearbox and engine are rigidly mounted together so to see the lever moving 5degrees + between accel and overun suggests the engine mounts are way too soft as its principally the engine mounts which resist torque reaction.

Did you get any bread? I might go to Hunstanton for a stick of rock tomorrow after work as it is nearly time to sorn.

Why sorn?

have had many a great drive in the winter sunshine, cant beat it for blowning out the cobwebs.

No wet weather gear and my time is limited due to my availability as a retained firefighter. When I am off call and want or need to go somewhere it is usually raining. I have a range rover for the winter, one extreme to the other!

[kevin the chicken]

But those are the days I have to stay at home! Anyway you don't need wet weather gear with the range rover. Another plus is that I can take my time with the winter mods. Crisp November/December days I usually end up cutting some boy racer out of his souped up corsa.

[kevin the chicken]

Car sorned, it's raining! Correct decision at the moment.

I did 69 miles Sunday gone and it was fantastic. So I am into October now
