It’s been time for an oil change for a good few months, on all the cars really, but the Land Rover is the easiest, so it got in there first. I also did an enginer flush, which is a first for me. I got some stuff from Halfords for just over five quid a tin, and that tin will do up to 10 litres of engine oil, so that covers all of our cars. As soon as I got in, I popped the bonnet right off and dumped this stuff in as per the destruction on the tin, then it said to idle for 20 mins, this seemed excessive to me (Even though I don’t understand the reasons etc etc) so I set a timer for 7 mins and thought I woulc chekc back in to see what the engine temperature was up to.

I did three lanes yesterday on the way home from the Tank Museum, the first two were very good, didn’t see too many people and so could dawdle along at my own pace and not distrube anyone. the third I was met with a rive with I chose not to cross.

We visited the Tank Museum again yesterday, as we had 1 year free re-entry tickets. It was good to go again, they’d changed a lot of of the displays and vehicles around. So it was different enough. we also saw inside of the vehicle conservation building this time: That is the actual tank used in the film Fury, which I have never seen, but I have seen the tank… they had something like 140 tanks in there apparently, I didn’t count them but there are cetainly a lot, as the fella said it’s like tank tetrus in there. I feel that this is a great example of the law of horizontal surfaces, which is, “if you have them you will fill them”.
