The Whitemill, Sandwich

A mixed morning at the mill today, the first thing is to report that the guardrails that we started a couple of weeks ago are now finished...

However, most of this morning was taken up with sorting a theft of heating oil which occurred sometime Thurday night. The tank is a relatively new polyethere, bunded one, & is mounted some five feet off the ground. The thieves had drilled through both inner & outer walls & then presumably drained the contents (approx 200l) into containers. The tank will have to be replaced which, ironically will cost a lot more than they will get for the stolen oil!

We will need to re-think the siting of the replacement tank to make this sort of think more difficult in future...

The life & times of a Peugeot 106 1.5D

There are two of these... one currently wont start, I suspect the fuel shut-off solenoid valve on the injector pump. Normally I wouldn't expect this to be too difficult to eliminate/rectify? in the case of this car though, the cut-off valve is covered by a "security" cover of hardened steel secured by shear-head bolts... what were they thinking?
Tomorrows first job will be to get the three bolts out & remove the cover, then test the solenoid valve...
