T8 GNW - Progress & Ownership Thread

[RickyBobby]

Service & MOT booked for today but with the weather being nice we decided to go the long way round to drop it off - via Bolsterstone and Ladybower.

As we were driving past anyway it would have been rude not to stop at the Yorkshire Bridge Inn so we did - fortunately the pie of the day was venison and they had Bakewell Best on as a guest beer. Obviously the beer dictated the desert course and we shared a Bakewell pudding with custard

Turn right out of the Yorkshire Bridge and immediately left up New Road and you are afforded one of the best views (from the road) in the Peak District - out over Hope Valley towards the cement works.

Let's hope the test results are as enjoyable as the journey to drop it off

Unfortunately the results are in and it's a fail - pair of rear springs on order but likely Friday before they arrive and it can go for the re-test

 

[RickyBobby]

Despite failing for a fractured rear spring it appears rather than being fractured the springs were just the wrong type. As a result the coils were simply rubbing against each other - so two new springs later it was an unadvisory pass and a new 12 month fun voucher
