Snow has been with us for a few days now. I can't get the Bus to my mates house, who is going to give me a hand with the electrics for the driving lights. He lives not far away, but there is a single track up a steep hill to his house and it's still snowed up.

Weather still really nice so took the Bus out for a run. Once I jump started it off the van that is.
I new those jump leads that I bought, would come in handy one day.
The battery was tested and a reading of 11.89 was shown, pretty flat. The Bus is standing about for too long a period in cold weather and this is having an effect on the battery. Did about 80-100 mile drive and bought a battery charger and a smart looking T Bar screwdriver set at the motorist shop on the way back. Stopped off for chips at the seaside, again pretty poor. The search continues for a good bag of chips.
Will take the battery off tomorrow and give it a full charge.
Should get the new driving lights fitted sometime next week.

(Friday 9th Feb update.)
It took 13 hours to fully charge the battery

Spotlights arrived today, also got a wiring kit from the local car parts shop. Will try and fit the spot lights sometime soon, if the weather stays fine and dry.
Took the Bus out for a drive today, as it is such a nice day.
