hello just pop in for a catch up
good to see the club is doing so well
I still love my trusty t2 good solid truck Its hard to get into first gear but it has been the same since I have owned it so no problem you just get used to it It blows blue smoke on start up .... that used to worry me ... but not now other than that a good truck does everything I want it too 4x4 still working great and it sails through its MOT's Thanks again |

Hi Wendy, hope your well. The place just hasn't been the same without you. Nice to hear your trucks doing so well too. I can't stay as it's an early start tomorrow, busy busy busy at work now it's getting towards the end of term.

now then don't go blaming Zippy
the smallholding is good but had a mad moment and went to work in fashion what a waste of time Why do women buy so many clothes we only need a few I am now back on track and working for a farm shop we support all small producers of food, clothing, home ware and drinks So i can sell my produce through them and help other smallholder do the same good news all round. Good luck with the truck |

Hi, TD should be the same. When the glowplug light goes out the glowplugs stay on for ages after ,so a little more heat should cure the smoke ;O)

hello Wendy, ive seen you about when i first joined the club, nice to see you posting again, hope thinsg are good with work.
as for blue smoke, i always thought that was burning oil, so is it possible you have a teeny bit of oil leaking in the engine perhaps or a teeny crack in the gasket maybe? meh, either way doesnt sound to be an issue so its hardly worth the bother! |
