re-checked fluids, tyre pressures and made sure that the sleeping bag is in the truck...so if i forget the tent..not a problem...also put big fishing brolly in, and a pack of digestives. Jobs a good un..

still got to check the circlips and re-seal the auto hubs, but it's raining and I ain't got a garage. going to get on with packing a bag.

I'm in no way excited about Bala.. :dirty w/end:

Was able to get some from Wickes, not the same head (thank god) but should do the job.

Thanks For the offer.

Ran a full can of carburettor cleaner through the intake and added some injection cleaner to the diesel tank. The truck immediately ran quieter and with increased throttle respons. God knows how much power I'm going to get after the injector cleaner has done it's job as well :) I've aready got like a new truck with lots of power after my engine flush a few weeks ago :-D
Love it ! :dance:

I found an oil leak coming from the front of the engine somewhere its higher than the sump gasket from what i could see, Add to the list.

Dropped the glass out my square spotlight leaves me three square chrome ones and two round ones so i put them on a light bar.

Drinks if its the rear it could be the rocker cover, they are known for this, if not that it could be the rear crank case seal, thats a gearbox out jobby but if its not too bad leave it and check oil every week should be fine then if changing clutch change the seal or visa versa.
