Gosh, phones are brilliant at making some right 'howlers' I've seen them completely change the context of a message I'm composing and at other times they just make me giggle

Phiff....round mud guards and no rotten Wood "extender"...

I think they are good trailers. So many if them sold they are very, very cheap second hand. Almost invariably sold with perished tyres (new ones complete with rims, about £35 each new) and often knackered lights - straight forward to change, mine has recently been upgraded to LED (original units suffered from water ingress and hence crusty terminals on bulb holders)

Wheel bearings also cheap and easy to change. I've drilled the hubs for grease nipples (and removed the inner most dust seal on each bearing)

Relative speaking they are a pain in the bum to reverse! My bigger trailer is a breeze to reverse. This, by the time it becomes visible in either side mirror, it is already in an unrecoverable jackknife! Argh! I now pump drivers seat much higher than my usual position, and am just able to see the top edge of the trailer back panel. Subject to shape of the road - disappears part way reversing onto my driveway - by the time it reappears it's again unrecoverable if veering off my intended course.

MoT tomorrow on the AX.....so after yesterdays outer clean the desperately dirty engine bay needed a good degrease and wash down....so I applied ScrewFix degreaser to everything including the bonnet and started the car, set revs to high and after a few mins I jet washed it

Note, the "brown" stains/patches are Bilt&Hamber wax
