WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[MrWolf]

Nice one Erik, you need those EGR valve off now and the particulate filter

EGRs blanked off nicely already with some 5mm mild steel plates I made a couple of weeks ago Some more 2,5" tubing is on my list to get rid of the particulate filter and flappy paddle. Then I'll have a 2,5" system all the way from the downpipe and out. Will be niice! Post pictures then.

Today I reversed my Frontera into a sign post.. bent the sign post and scratched the side step.

Oops

how do you revers sidey ways

[drinksoptional]

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.

never opened the bonnet i didnt want to know, yeah check the oil tomorrow an have a look topside see what i can see

I heard the scratching but didn't see the signpost so kept going

Side step needs replaced anyway - all it's done is remove the plastic to show some really bad rust has gone right through the tubing.

Fixed a couple of annoying niggles on Freya.

Scraping noise on rear end :- topped up rear axle oil - no difference but should have been done when I got her so - off with the back wheels and check the rear pads, both outer ones ( that you can see through the alleys ) worn but servicable, both inner ones down to the metal. Replaced pads no more noise ( stupid boy should have known that )

Very low oil pressure :- amazing what a difference an oil and filter change makes, once again should have been done ages ago.

Just to prove that training as a mechanic when leaving school all those years ago made no difference whatsoever.

Well, it's not strictly all today but...

Saturday I replaced both inner CV joint gaiters with the sticky plit affairs, under the supervision of Drifty (Cheers Ste for that, and for having the things sent to his place )
Today I've popped a new sidelight bulb in to replace the blown one. Oh, and unpacked a shedload of stuff from the back of the motor
