Pads and shoes changed. Fog light fitted, number plate light working. New wiper blades fitted but one wiper arm is a bit duff. �

As expected, it failed. Nothing major, mainly dodgy electrics.

I thought I'd got them all working right, tried them on test and the lights were all over due to bad earth's.

Taking the easy way out. Left it with the garage (good lads, proper mechanics), they're gonna have it sorted for Wednesday.

I just don't have the time to sort it at the moment. Got a few jobs to do on the Samurai this afternoon. Luckily had an awesome week pay wise last week to pay for all this spending.

Been through my spares department and sorted out all the bits required to pass the MOT, dropping them off tomorrow morning.

When I do strip it down I'll be making a new loom for it, this is just a stop gap to use it for a bit.

The Samurai will be off the road for a week at least when I swap the bodies over, this give me some transport for a bit.

Youll love it.

Kjas are awesomely uncomfortable but fun.

Incredibly practical but useless at the same time
