I had 6 days of that recently. Every thing I looked at and fixed something else knackered.

I'm properly in the mood for it now, I've been working on it on my way home from work !!

New rear brakes fitted last night, couldn't bleed them on my own though

Plan tonight is to link the batteries, and bleed brakes.

Shocks are coming Friday, winches late next week.

Service stuff next, oils ect.

You should get yourself a gunson easy bleeder mike.... works off tyre pressure... makes brake bleeding a piece of cake by yourself
none of the up down up down hold crap!

I've got a pressure bleeder it's at my house though.

So much still to do, but I've taken a few days off before the event to sort stuff.
