    Suspension problems

    This morning I did a 100km trip in the County. By the time I got back, there was a very noticeable clank on bumps.

    My initial diagnosis was a shock absorber bush gone. This turned out to be wrong - it is the bush on the back of the front radius arm. I have ordered a set, and should have them within a few days. In the meantime, I will have to take the 2a into town tomorrow. With a forecast of 37 it will at least be marginally cooler than today (39) - no aircon, and going into town I have to put the door tops back on!

    Why? Do you need to lock it?

    Yes. All the main carparks in Dubbo have prominent signs - "Lock it or lose it", based on police experience.

    Yes, but she is only a little one, albeit so aggressive that if I took her into town I'd probably get booked for having a dangerous dog - she has already missed that marginally when she was with my granddaughter in Yass.

    We passed through Dubbo a couple of days ago. It is quite a big town these days.

    And you will need an electric fence to keep them in.
