WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[quiteone]

Not today but yesterday

refitted inlet manifold after cleaning, fitted new gasket.
Amazing how many bolts you find missing, there was one bolt holding the coil pack onto the manifold, so have replaced missing ones.
Removed exhaust manifold cleaned down and repainted. (This is one of the jobs I've been meaning to do since I had the new exhaust manifold fitted, found that one of the studs had been broken and a monkey job done on it so making up special fitment stud here at work)


Today ordered new 'o' rings for the injectors and them rubbery washer things for the fuel rail.
Looks like I have to replace one of the injectors due to the monkey cowboys that had it apart before not looking to see how the plug was connected and broke of the little shield whilst removing it

Some jobs you wish you had just never started

Today i stripped the oil pump to see if that is the reason for the loss of oil pressure and oil light flickering on, and found this...

Just dropped it off for a service.

Not normally a big deal, but to the best of my knowledge it is over two years since it was last done, so a little concerned about what this might cost me.

Ah well, will just have to wait and see !

Ordered a new clutch kit (116 quid delivered). Release bearing is shot and its been about 70,000 miles since the last clutch was fitted so it makes sense to do the whole lot.

Its in the garage at the moment drying out as the carpets are wet and soggy from my recovery adventure last week along with a proper dunking last Sunday.
