WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[Frenchfarmer]

well i spent most of the day replacing all brake pipes and feul lines as failed mot on two of the brake pipes at rear so thought well s@@ it will do all new pipes and then why not do fuel pipes too ???
well nearly done ( dad assiting and keeps asking silly questions )
if your gonna do it do it proper he says so all pipes are wire bound and bends are all protected too
( father used to build racing cars)
once done never to be done again is his motto

Measure twice; cut once.
And.. If you have to go to the shop to get something you know you will need again in the future then get two; it might be more money at the time, but how much time and fuel did it cost you to go get the first one?

Adjusted the hand brake so it holds on 3 clicks rather than moves on 7.
Cleaned the inside and the console seems as I had it apart
Presure washed the underneath ready for the waxoyl tomorrow.

Quick question,
What is the point of

Yesterday Horses45 came to mine we had a Mini Mini meet. Put new pads on his truck and some front recovery shackels then

Not criticising, more wondering why.

As they are just there and you still have to undo them to fix the towing stop, and if just left open to the elements then could well corode and be difficult to use.

Keep mine in the boot untill going off road then fix them with strop if I think it may get sticky.

Why are you Reporting my post? The shackles are fitted permanantly so you can just hook into or "D" shackle to them. If the front of the vehicle is under water im sure you dont want to be finding a bl00dy hole to put a "D" shackle or hook into. If you look there also Galvanised so are hard to corrode!!!!

Bobster,

Not reporting your post or anything like that, was just wondering why it was done thats all.

As for grovelling about under water then I agree totaly but tend to fitt mine with the stops thru the rear window and front onto the roof, but only fit them when I am going off road, but dont have them on at all times. Just wondering how much easier it is to find the shackel that the hole any way thats all.

Every body has there own ways of doing things and | just like to know why some things are done, if a any reason at all or just to look good.

Oh ok sorry Trev i just saw Repot this post and wonderd why. A lot of us find it easier to have them fitted permanantly and i think they look good too.
Sorry again for jumping Trev.

My 2 danglies sit out on thr front in all weather. Occasionally get some copperslip for them, but itsa spanner to open them, I dont usually mess with them.

[woodwizzard]

Sold the little black 2.8, didn't realy want it to go, but would rather it be used than sitting doing nothing. Hope it made it home with no dramas'.

[simo_d]

Cleaned off all the welsh mud then put my fog stickers off tom

[N1ova]

Took the gearbox out.Still none the wiser as to why i only have 4th gear.Pressure plate and clutch in mint condition.

[Road Hog]

From your fault description it will be the actual gearbox that is at fault not the clutch.

[domino]

Sorted the oil pressure sender.

Tidied the side step with the help of a wire brush and tin of black spray paint.

Washed the outside and rubber mats, gave the inside a good vacuum but the carpets are still soggy from Saturday

Checked and adjusted the front tracking and discovered the new steering arm I fitted is also bent

Rear diff is now leaking so off with the cover tomorrow morning to see why
