Last month's Stockton Beach trip (thanks Jared C, my first time there) came to a sudden end for the Flatfender when the thermo fan lost 9 of its 10 plastic fan blades causing the radiator to leak in the process. No sign of the missing blades but plenty of steam and boiling water. Many thanks to Stephen T. who towed me the 12 Km to Anna Bay and thanks also to the NRMA who arranged transport back to my garage at home courtesy of their Veteran, Vintage & Classic Vehicle Insurance. The radiator was a Toyota one I had cut to fit the Jeep but it was too badly damaged to repair so I had to modify another new one to suit, along with another new fan.
Back on the road again now but questions being asked from my better half . . "is there no end to the expense?" Don't be silly - it's a Jeep!
