An interesting day, started my day weep ting to do a duty that would have been easier than my usual one. Having got to our depot in W London I began to load up, then when the time came to raise the deck bugger all happened. I thought that the power was gone so plugged in the Anderson lead and still,sweet bugger all. Then the hydraulics light came on in the trailer warning panel, oh bugger this looks serious, looking around the trailer I noticed that it was sitting a bit low so a further inspection was deemed to be in order. The bloody thing had settled on the tyres, mud guards were resting on the back axle tyres, not good. Started it up to get some air and nothing, no air in the trailer system, called the breakdown and when he arrived he couldn't do anything. A more knowledgable mechanic was called and he arrived when I was going home as this had dragged beyond my duty time so he has by now fixed it, as all was left at the depot they should organise the recovery of the unit and trailer back to our yard. Not bad in 9 hours I managed to drive all of 33km.
