The usual with added extras. Knee still not right...back is better but some days it can be a killer. And now a shoulder blade seems to have moved all on it's own..it's sticking out where it should be stuck in. Back to the docs I guess...and don't fret about the Vit...she drives fine albeit in 2WD lol. Normally use Piglet 6 anyway so no biggie.

Dammit. MOT booked in tomorrow and I had forgot all about it. Did a check of all the electrics...everything works. She's had new brakes and the steering fixed so should be hot to trot.

I am well chuffed. Now I have to make a big decision. Do I sell Piglet 3?

What's the thinking behind this? Piglet 3 is a great daily driver (she drives so much nicer than my SJ, at least) - are you thinking of keeping Piglet 5 and keeping the mini as your DD?
You do have too many vehicles, I will admit that, but before we can help you decide whether to sell Piglet 3, we should hear what your situation and thinking is, mate.

Hmm.
Piglet 5 was the blue LJ and that's long gone as is the Mini.
Piglet 6 is the green LJ, Piglet 3 is the Vitara.
6 is my daily drive...3 gets used maybe a dozen times a year and she costs me £300+ a year in tax and insurance. 6 costs half that. And I can't justify having two cars when I only really use the one.
HOWEVER...in the five years I have owned the Vitara she has never failed to start (even once after being left for 2 months outside), never not got me home, never failed an MOT either. BUT! The MOT tester called me over when the LJ was on the ramps and asked if I did all the mods. No I didn't. He thought they were done so well they could have been factory made. Praise indeed. So both cars are perfectly suited to being a daily driver, but the LJ has been my dream zook and after the Piglet 5 fiasco I now have this highly modded one that I will never sell. One has to go.
HOWEVER #2. I will wait until I have sold a couple of bikes before I put Piglet 3 up for sale (and getting the front hubs working again would help!)
ps quick Piglet run down
1 first ever SJ410
2 the white 413 with orange wheels
3 the current Vitara
4 never arrived even though I bought a load of parts for it!
5 the blue LJ
6 the current green LJ
