The king pin to lower suspension arm ball joint had a puncture to the rubber. I'd tried gluing it but it came undone, after that I injected extra grease every now and again. it could only be removed by taking out the half shaft first which put me off a bit, little did I know that the half shaft was trivial compared with the other problems. Four weeks and £200 later it's fixed.  The bottom of the ball joint came off with the two hammer trick. The slotted nut on the top needed wacking with a chisel and a lump hammer, even when it moved it needed strong hammer blows. That was easy, the ball joint would not come out. So I decided to take it in to the workshop. Problem, the bolt connecting the lower arm to the tie rod would not budge. The garage would not come out so I called Roy. Next Saturday morning he arrived with a welding lance and a friend with a big hammer. The bolt came out and he took the arm away to separate the ball joint. The arm came back minus the ball joint

I need fuel filters near the tanks before the Pollack changeover valve. I use these clear plastic ones from ebay. They look a bit like a chemistry experiment, but it does let me see what's been collected. The main tank had been doing its work. Time to replace it And a deteriorating rubber fuel hose to replace..

we did always manage to fill up the water tank on holiday, but sometimes it  was a mission to find a tap with the right screw thread for our hoselock fitting. The back up plan was to see a container and a funnel. But now ... ... I'm not totally convinced yet, it just slides off our utility room tap. Update: 1 April,  but not a joke. Bought this for half the price from Wilko:
