My intended tow vehicle showed it's true colors yesterday (bloody Ford) I had a F150 4x4 thing to use, but all within the space of a few hours yesterday,the dash wiring decided to short out (causing headlights to stay on) the twin fuel tank switching unit decided to start leaking, and there is now a loud high pitched squeal in one of the drive belt ancillaries (thought it as alternator so I had removed that, replaced bearings and regulator) had just refitted this when the fuel decided to leak.
Fuggin Ford $hit.
So I am back to the reliable (but slow) Valiant.
