Went to work in Bumble one day last week & it started raining as soon as I got into the office, luckily it stopped about 30 minutes before I was due to go home, went to start him & he wasn't interested, wouldn't turn over & lights would go out. Pretty new battery so doubted it was that, tried to bump him down the very short hill out of the car park but still wan't having any. So called the recovery company to come fetch me & whilst the woman on the phone was making arrangements I was playing around with the negative lead from battery to engine to chassis. Put some pressure onto it & away he went, so cancelled the recovery & drove home, clearly a bad earth, So today made some new leads up & all seems good.
Also made a towbar for him so I can take a small trailer to Wales rather than trying to cram everything into the passenger seat, but that meant starting with a new exhaust, as you can see the bend is not going to do it
So had to get a bit creative with the angle grinder & welder, not too pretty but at least now there are no holes which will please the MOT tester
Then onto the tow bracket
The exhaust clamps are so it can be taken back off, but I'm not sure now that I will, I may just remove the towball so I don't smash my shins. I may need to devise a different method as it will need to be removable so I can get to exhaust & subframe. Annoyingly the towball electric alloy lid snapped the first time I tried to plug anything into it.
Couple of pictures of something else I did last week, swapped out the 4 spots for a lighting bar, Christmas present from the wife, although i'm not sure I ever got the money for it.
Then lastly I had some resistors in as I have LED bulbs, but they appear to be getting very hot, so I've ordered a LED flasher unit.
