Bellowing white smoke and no power tonight FCUK

Throttle solenoid seems to have lost both its screws and flapping around. Found some screws strip down throttle body fit new screws with loctite and re-assemble.

Well put a fuel tank , 2ndhand, on this morning. Been soaking the four bolts and jubilee clips every two days for a fortnight. Paid off, the nuts came of with no problem. The jubilee clip on the filler hose was a cut off job, the rest came off fairly easily. The wee electric plug is a bit of a fiddle but it unplugged after all the crap was scrapped away. Fitting the tank was a doddle, thought I better bleed the system but didn't need to no air came out. Started first turn. Jobs a good un!

Found this on the back tyre , I knew they were starting to perish but this looks like it's now starting to split . Wouldn't mind so much if they were remoulds but they are Yokohama and about 3 and a half years old , more expense coming ☹️

What concerns me is its the only one I could find on the tyre and can't see any on the other 3 tyres , it's random and on its own just hope it's not the beginning of a carcus failure ( I'm a bit funny about perishing tyres )

washed the truck ............ again .............. that's gotta be twice I've cleaned it in the last 12 months

usually I only clean it once a year ........ whether it needs it or not ....... some years it doesn't need cleaning but I clean it anyway coz I'm like that
can I be part of the "gleam team" now I've washed it twice this year ? @Discodaz

obviously I've not cleaned inside
