Well yesterday was an ambivalent day. Having picked up the first short run of Oxboxes, there are still a few issues that need ironing out, including getting packaging. So anyone who knows a good cardboard box company, please let me know.
Returned home to get the van fixed and although we (I mean Dave really lol) got it to start, the new axle that I bought to replace the half shaft luckily has turned out to be a genuine Bedford CF axle, but the axle actually attached to the van seems to be from another van entirely >.<
Despite these things, I'm going into the day with a kinda benign feeling of optimism. Let's see what the day will bring :)
Good to hear her running again tho :D
Peace and life and love!

Important note to self
Well, working on the plumbing, which I'll get to in a sec, and got ravenously hungry. Being always prepared, there was a Pukka Pie in the freezer, so I lobbed it onto a plate and into the microwave for 4 minutes........
So anyways, turns out none of my van crockery is microwaveable lol. Having melted a rather trippy pattern into one of my small melamine plates, I ate the pie anyway, with a smattering of plate flakes and a fine chianti ( finest hannibal lecter lips smack lol)
So having warmed the audience with an anecdote explicitly displaying to the populace how ignorant I am of melamine properties, I shall move to the next order of business, to whit, my freaking water pump is doing my head in!
For the majority of the time it works perfectly, until some moron lets the water tank run out, although in that moron's defence, I don't have a water level monitor on any of my tanks. So last time the tank fell barren, I filled it back up, and ever since then the water pump makes a horrible noise whenever the taps are turned on. It's a pressure activated pump, and self-primes, but just seems to lock a rattly lil bubble in the diaphragm. Anyone any ideas on how to shift it, I've tried some fairly surreal things which I won't share right now lol. That means I'm open to any and all suggestions :)
