The beast has given up

[stormforce]

The truck has finally given up last night.
On my way to Wales with 70m to go and the engine decided its had enough.
Fter 2.5 years of hard work up and down the country and towing upto 3.5t the engine blew up.I got relayed home but now have to sort out about getting the truck and the trailer with a truck on back to the workshop.
Vince is trying to hire a trailer to collect the surf i bought in Wales which was meant to be collected this morning.
I had a feeling yesterday that something was going to happen and its the first time i have carried a spare wheel aswell.
I got a couple of mates from here going to try and help me out so Thanks to you guys in advance

Cheers Ross.I am now looking for a good 3rd gen or l/cruiser for 3k or i might be able to go a bit more if i can sell parts quick enough

sorry to hear it died mate.

On the topic of you shifting a few spares (in addition to the tow bar obviously) have you got any spare electric radiator fans?

I was thinking of putting an extra one in front of the rad (the old paranoia about overheating & damaging the head!) assuming you reckon it'd fit in without too much trouble...
