Failed damper, probably a rear one from high G loading accelerating out of a tight uphill turn.

[ronnyd]

Broke it again, going up Wrynose.

That's Hard Knott, er i mean luck.

Possibly the steepest road in the UK.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

A couple of minor jobs on the Boxster to get it ready for MOT  - which runs out tonight.
Must get it booked in for a test when I can find time.

Now I'm back home, I should charge a laptop.  But its pissing down.

Well....

You could always charge the laptop ready for when it stops 

Although, given your aversion to doing anything, you should probably stick the car on charge too

Just driven it back from Stansted (RRS) after using the Abarth while over in Spain, it's nice to have a lot more room, lots of Police activity on the A1 marked & unmarked vehicles looks like they're waiting for someone special..😂

Started stripping the 300c ready for a new alternator. It's an absolute pig to get at - should have bought the V8  .

On the plus side, despite being parked up since February, she started first turn of the key.

Sorry to disappoint Mick, but David Lammy our shiny new Foreign Secretary went to Germany today. 

Imagine that... A man who thinks men can grow a cervix representing us on the world stage!

He's probably been referred to as a c**t so many times he quite likes the idea..😂
Being serious I think it's probably a big drugs shipment on the move, or a lorry load of illegals, quite a few wagons being stopped on our way down to Stansted a few days ago.

Yes and Lammy would have probably flown out of Northolt anyway.

So in a brief interlude between showers yesterday, I plugged in the laptop to discover, as suspected, a front sensor issue. NSF one, short to 0v.

When it initially happened, like DG, wondered if it was air suspension or compressor, but slowly moved away from that when the ride height on all corners looked normal, even when putting all the stuff in the boot to come home (and Mrs TB does like to take the kitchen sink with her!).


Popped over to Gixer's gaff to use his dry garage to avoid getting wet again, and checked the condition of the exposed part of the loom in the wheel arch, and if the connector was dry.  The outside of the connector was wet, but the important bit was dry.

Live data was showing the voltage changes when jacking up the suspension an inch or so via brake disc - car was already jacked up.

Went over with a hairdryer anyway, and a bit of vaseline around the seal, but still showing a fault.  Distracted by one of Mrs Gixer's late breakkies, then the qualifying, then the footie, ordered a cheap sensor that I'll replace when it arrives.

Is NSF your pothole wheel of choice

Not trashed that one for 2.5 months...
