Chilli, The funky green chillin' machine!

Chilli hasn’t been running too well lately and decided not to start on the return journey of our last trip. After some fiddling with the wiring it became apparent that the temp 2 sensor of the injection system was not functioning correctly. So a new one installed and a perfect excuse for a trip to Wisemans Bridge beach for a BBQ. Lovely to have the far end of the beach nearly to ourselves. It won’t be like this in the summer…


Chilli behaved himself but I think a fuel filter change could be a good idea. I do drive our splitty a lot more than Chilli as I’m not so precious with it, but Chilli is so much nicer to drive than the split. After the crappy last few years we’ve had I’m hoping we will get out and about much more this year

 

So while looking under the rear of the camper I noticed a small hole in the exhaust. When I restored chilli a few years ago, this exhaust was hanging around so was put to good use but it was second hand and used. So I picked the replacement up at a swapmeet a few years back and it sat in the corner of the workshop…

 

Until today when I had a spare hour..

And the price ticket makes me happy too! Just goes to show that bay ownership isn’t always expensive! I think I might leave the sticker to remind myself!

 

All done..

 

We’ve just won the hayburner competition for a retro drive away awning! Get in!

It will be the perfect accessory with 2 growing kids!

 

Awesome

 

We can’t use the old cliche “we never win anything “ again!

 

Bought a new mat for the rear from madmatz. Slightly darker than the front with darker edging, hopefully to help hide the kids muddy feet!
Usual good quality and service from Mark and the team at Madmatz. Cheers guys!

 

West’est Fest Pembrokeshire.

Met up with our local club Aircooled Pembs at the Westest festival. It’s just down the road from us so nice to support the show.

Weather wasn’t the best but the rain held off for the show and shine.

Chilli managed to score a top 3 trophy too.
