I made a start with the light bar, Got hold of a length of 2x1 box section and a couple of 35mm exhaust clamps. Cut the box section to length and drilled out the clamp mount holes and then attatched CB aerial. Just got the lights to (aquire and) fit.... This is just the test fitting as will have to rust proof it before final fit is done......

Replaced the oil catch tank/expander/somethingorotherthat'sonlyonthe2.5 and it's made a big difference! I'm the 3rd owner of this frontera on the forum.. and I've worked out that it was THIS that's the culprit for oil in the sump guard! Just gotta replace the rest now

Today fitted 3 new spark plugs ( engine was hot and one was tight so left it for now ) dizzy cap and rotor arm. Also swapped pipes over on the heater matrix and will take to work tonight and back. Tomorrow if not freezing I will change the thermostat and do the other plug. On to do list is air filter, oil change and filter, fuel filter, ignition leads and all other fluids
Noticed last night a loud rattle that didn't change with engine revs or speed. Seems to have cleared now Might soon change the timing chain too if not too hard
wtf is this for?
