Eeeerrrmmmmm.......well........

As far as I know, it’s ok now. But I have had a bit of bother with a frazzled ECu, which was a bit vexing to say the least.

When it’s going, it’s a pleasure to use, but without a shadow of doubt I’ve had more fitters out to work on it in one year than we’ve had out to four Big A spreaders in 25 years.

To actually do the job it’s a good bit of kit in theory, but if it keeps costing money I might have to think again.

Truth told, I think I’ve lost my way with my machinery choices a bit these last five years. I’m really yearning to get back to something with a proper gearbox and even a clutch. No emissions rubbish, no technology, just big, basic, chunky chuff off engineering that keeps going.

Trouble is, it’s that road towing business that governs all I have to do. The Xerion ticks that box, so stays for now.
