Spring tuneup

[BeardyMan]

Already had mine in for fair chunk of work this year. New alternator was the last outing. Got to keep it as is for a few more weeks until new motor turns up, then it'll only be used by me; so back seats out, wheel spacers on, hoping for an external roll-cage and proper bull-bars instead of the nudge bar I have now. Half length roof rack and flexible solar panels on the back half should cover everything I want. Although full length rack with an awning would be spot on. Means drilling holes in the roof though

I'll do the filters and oil change myself when that comes around in a few thousand miles. Probably should have done the aux belts when I replaced the radiator a few weeks back, they're not difficult, but an extra pair of hands definitely helps.

Can't say I notice different in fuel too much. This thing will happily run on SVO, so giving it derv is a real treat! When the oil prices skyrockets (again) it'll be fed on cherry juice...
