It's not me that's the Dog Warden it's Jess. All she has to do is step out of the van and all the dogs come a running. Easiest job in the world.

Having retired from the Merchant Navy in 2005 I bought a small pet supplies shop in Dulverton, Somerset and am still there.

Well monday saw the job finalised...35ltrs of engine oil added...coolant at the correct level ..fuel bled at injector pipes and the turn of the key..the engine fired into life and sounded good with no burning oil smell from the exhaust..got the engine temp up slightly and shut her down ready for the owners to collect and take it for a road test..engine bey shut till Tuesdays test

Old temp strips shown by the new

Today was the road test...the crane behaved has it should..it pulled well even though its weight is 62 tons


Picture below while out on the road.

Although we went down a steep hill the crane driver never touched the main brakes has the crane had great braking power with the exhaust brake and gearbox intarder..The gearbox has its own oil cooler which shares the same coolant has the engine...this cooler had failed and contaminated the engine coolant with oil causing the overheat and the rest is history..
Below is the brown sludge in the coolant expansion tank.
The end...
