Part 2 sorted out the rear axel breather pipe because the diff oil was leaking from it then filled it up with oil. Whilst I was under the truck find a hole in the middle exhaust box and find one of the rear anti roll bar drop links had snapped.
Whilst I was doing the above Lisa cleaned the inside of the car then we washed it then a quick polish.

I still can't believe how good my tank guard is. I will be giving the underneath a coat of waxoil

Got police escort with blue lights co's she was only doing 2-3 mile an hour. (Only Chrissy could do that!!!) :?

Used it yesterday because the cavalier burst a coolant pipe...on my way back from the shop I drove past a lump of metal in the road that looked like a manual hub...bugger me I thought that's a find...I'll have that, pulled over, ran out to pick it up and started walking back to the truck only to see that the drivers side was missing its manual hub...dammit! Oh well, lucky all 6 bolts were still in the hub so should be a easy fix.
