Hi Everyone and a Happy New Year.

I'm Stewart from Norwich UK, I'm a Commercial Beekeeper and have had my Ranger S-Cab XLT Thunder since September 2016. Currently at 120,000 miles with all the usual knocks and bumps, quite a number of fixes have been required at various points too!
In that time I've managed to change the windscreen wipers and top up the washer bottle but not much else!
My New year's resolution is to finally be brave enough to do some work on my truck, try to save some money while learning a little more about how everything works. I guess confidence is everything and I have little when it comes to working on the truck so I'm going to try some hopefully simple things first such as general maintenance jobs, oil change etc.
The very first job I am going to tackle is planned for tomorrow, New Yera's Day and is replacing the thermostat!
I've watched videos, read my handbook, bought tools, cleared a space in my workshop ( not quite big enough but it will have to do), and spent the Christmas period building up enough courage to get stuck in!
Wish me luck and I'll post the results when I've finished!

Stewart
