At last today we have brakes!!!!! Reasonable pedal considering the shoes are new and need to bed in. Need to find some private land where I can drive it around for a bit and bed them in before the MOT.

Good news, spent most of yesterday on the van despite it being valentines day. Got the bonnet on, new pedal rubbers, seat belts fitted that work and straightened the rear bumpers and fitted the endcaps! Now will probably have to wait until the end of the month before I can buy the tyres. It may be slow but we're getting there.

Having got it to run and got a brake pedal thought I would take it for a small drive prior to the MOT. Second gear and above produced a horrible clanking noise from underneath. Further investigation has found a knackered centre bearing and a seized UJ on the prop. Yet another hurdle to overcome. I parked it and walked away.

Today was a good day, the Transit passed its MOT! Hooray! Now to get it registered and we'll be out cruising. Today was the first day I've driven it and I was pleasantly surprized. Wasn't quite as slow as I thought it would be.
