Gladly I found all flap screws firmly in place.

I will continue tomorrow as beer has taken preference now. Will be changing plugs and PCV valve and fitting a catch can hopefully. Also a good clean up and loctite on the flap screws.

Not half as bad as I thought it would be. Hope it all goes back together as easily and I can remember where everything went.
Remind me not to ask you to check my oil 👍
 
Today we went lockdown camping.... In our back garden 😋😄

On another note, I'm looking to get a tow bar cargo carrier with a metal box that I can custom fit a bbq. Then have two/three bike mounted above. I'll let you know what I find.

So far this weekend I have replaced PCV valve and fitted oil catch can with new valve inline in pipework above the air filter box, also did an oil and filter change, Monday I will be replacing front discs and pads
 
Gave the mistress a well deserved wash today, and all carpets are being washed in the washing machine,
hoovered the inside and cleaned engine bay to within a inch of it's life,
Yesterday my work hours went from 19 to 14 hours a day as we're getting through the calving and lambing, so have more time on my hands,
 
New plugs and PCV valve fitted but found some oil in no. six plug well. Soaked it all up with a rag before fitting the new plug but now have to decide whether to repair the oil weep or leave it to see if it becomes more serious. It'll mean removing the cam cover and replacing the plug tunnel tube. Thanks to @BMR for the invaluable information.

Becareful washing mats in washing machine, one of my rear ones got damaged doing the same and was a pita to sort a replacement.
 
Finally gave my van a wash after being off work for 3 weeks, ripping out and fitting a bathroom, then painting walls were getting in the way.
Just finished final touches 20200412_162650.jpgand the heavens opened with a thunderstorm, luckily I only got a few spots of rain on it before it was back in its den.
 
Oh no

It was totally random thought I'd experiment with it and I liked it good taste alike mate 🤣
Gonna have to do the rest of the trim bits now though... as I did them black and silver glitter and this is black and gold glitter. God damn making extra work for myself 😂
