Now we all know the true story and straight from the horse's mouth. We can now move on and see if we can find another problem to solve. I have loved the thread and interesting comments and good natured banter. I hope this never stops as that is what MLU is all about. "The facts and nothing but the facts".
Yesterday I started up the engine on my 1942 MB Willys Jeep restoration project. (She who must be obeyed refused permission to work on Xmas Day.)

The engine is now purring like a kitten, so I can continue putting it all back together, as you will see I am doing her in the desert colour.
Happy New Year to all and a great MLU 2011.
Cheers
Little Jo
