Noticed a new oil leak on it. "The truck that would not stop leaking oil"... Agreed a nice price with a guy and bougt a veteran 4x4 I've been dreaming of for a while; a nice International Harvester Scout Terra pickup . Keeping the Frontera of course:) Here's a pick of my new little precious 
She's got a removable cab top for sunny days and will be purely for restoration and fun.

Cleaned the wheels (outside surface mostly), took before & after pics using the phone then realised I didn't have a cable to transfer them to computer!

Friggin thing went into limp mode today after being good as gold for nearly a year. 
It was also running too warm for my liking so out with the intercooler and flush it and the rad through and it runs a lot cooler.
Just need to bottom out this bloody EML

Oh, and I also wire brushed the rear brake pipes and waxoyled them and bled the load/bias valve and had a play with it. It really doesn't seem to do anything

Think (hope) I've sorted my latest EML issue. Reckon the turbo solenoid wasn't getting as much vac as it should. Sprayed a bit of WD in the offending solenoid and swapped the vac pipes over and gave it a run. Swapped them back and so far it seems OK.

Went and got my propshaft UJ replaced! No More Rattle! 
Over £100 but, heavy duty one fitted and it drives just like it's supposed to.
Will post up some piccy's tomorrow of the old UJ and I think you will all agree that it was totally Fubarred!
