If the drive is loaded one way it may a cause a drag. It may also be an old lube issue having sat for a few lifetimes.

No real Scout progress today (that'll have to wait until tomorrow)
I did go over to Norfolk today so I could borrow one of Shaun's vehicles to take my track test, we ended up doing it in the MK2*, it wasn't plan A but fortunately it all went well and I passed. Thanks to Shaun for his patience especially as I crunched my way up and down the gears  I think I'd got a better idea of how to drive one by the time to go home!!Next box to tick is getting the DVLA to recognise the original reg number so it can be road registered. link to video http://youtu.be/yAkCMe4I-oc Last edited by Ben; 15-05-14 at 21:47.

Congrats, if you can pass it in a carrier you can pass it in anything !.... Did he make a course for you like he did for me with cars and trailers and god knows what as obstacles :-)

No, we thought it'd be too easy at the airfield, that's for soft northern girls
 We went into Old Buck for what seemed like an age. The kids at the primary school thought it was good, not sure what all the other folk in cars thought though? Ben

Well done Ben, I did mine in a digger. I guess the rules are quite different

Well done Ben , yes it was a good day in the end ..... It was a good baptism of fire into carrier driving .... First time behind a carrier steering wheel and it's your test !! And every type of road hazard as well , surprised we did have any horses to deal with .
Now get that scout finished !!
