Chris I backed off those bolts, I just knew mine where going to snap and work was the next day, they are there to annoy me another day :lol: one thought, would they be easier to have gotten out with the engine warm?



Yep I had a funny feeling they were gonna but was in the kinda mood where I didn't care if they did cos i wanted it done, bad day at work :roll:

Had just got home so engine was warm, was working them back and fore to try an loosen them but didn't work :wink:

Taking the particulate filter off has made a slight difference to boost, it appears to come in slightly earlier and increases faster :D

You get yours out Ste? or still having a fight?


I dropped an M10 over them, wasn't much left poking up on the one and wanted to make sure I got enough penetration with the welder :wink:

Nice one.

I for one washed and waxed the 2.8 , I must be lucky or something because the gearsticks sit ok and there are no foul gears after the body lift. See show em some TLC and they respond like a lady :wink:

Not sure if it was the heat from the welder, they were glowing after welding the nuts on, or the freeze spray I used :?

Welded nuts on stuff before after snapping them and it usually does the job, even done snapped off bleed nipples in brake calipers with no problems :D

Installed fire extinguisher. Tightened the under tray bolts. Refitted tank guard. Pointed some stakes. Drilled holes and fitted rope handles to waffle boards. Electrical contact cleaned mirror switch. Created a pile of stuff in the middle of the garage that will be taken to Bala. Swapped road exhaust tail pipe for off-road one.

Having a break now, but will do a fluid check this afternoon.
