lame plumber
loaded the old trailer with a tonne or so of iron, old rads boilers and rnli scrap, plus my copper and took the disco and trailer off to town to the scrappies. Luckily, i was only doing 40 ish when the rear suspension bag decided it had had enough and exploded, left me thinking I'd lost a tyre as it threw the bleedin truck everywhich way for a bit. Scared the brown stuff out of me and the beemer passing me 🙂. So pulled up to have a look and knew straight way what had gone. Still they recommend changing them every 5 years, in pairs, but being a tight sod, they get swapped when they pop with me. So its sitting on a ramp awaiting an £85 bag to arrive as against the £235 for one from a landy garage!!. All the landy experts will be saying swap them for springs, but being able to jack yer bum up has got me out of the mud a couple of times, and being tight has also prevented me from whacking a winch on the front as well 🙂
So got £200 out of the scrappie, when I arrived eventually and costing me a bit more to repair, but the good thing was it didnt happen when the Mrs was driving with our lovely little grand daughter strapped in with her, as the Mrs never seems to drive below 60mph!!!! and she doesnt always clear the corners when its all working ok, let alone when its leaning to one side!!!!!!!!!
