Another Test Fail
Brought my Surf for its DOE test today (Irish equivalent of MOT for commercial vehicles)
Failed on two points, headlamp alignment, which the tester then sorted for me anyway, and o/s tyre rubbing on the upper A arm on full L/H lock. Guess I need to do a little more adjusting to get my new tyres to clear.
As the other side is OK, and the rub is very slight, I reckon I can get enough adjustment by moving the forward end of the lower A arm outboard on its cam and then having the camber reset, if I can get the muppets in the wheel alignment place to understand what I'm talking about that is....
The guys in the center were quite interested in and complimentary about the Surf, especially considering they are an Isuzu service centerer, also recognised the odour of veggie immediately as they also had a Dublin Council truck in for some work which they reckon was running on waste veggie, presumably an elsbett conversion as they have a number of them on Cork council vehicles.
The veggie is spreading ....
