M53 HOD Successfully passed its M.O.T at Guscotts of Halwill, and with some electrical work carried out is now ready for the road 2026.

 Mercedes Benz PDV 283N also had a new water pump fitted at Pete Hearn, Winkleigh. On a recent test run it was found the pump was leaking badly (luckily one was available on Ebay) Hopefully this might have been the source of the problem of the screeching!! The alternator, steering pump and water pump all run off the same belt feed from engine so one failing could cause the others to slow down
