Spent 4 hours trying to remove the starter motor. It appears some A friend has tried before and has cross threaded the top bolt and left it loose. The bolt is solid and cant get enough leveredge on it to shift it . Its not looking good so far and now the bloody vaux alarm keeps going off.

Have you disconnected your battery? I hope so

[adyclemo]

Yep that was done on the second time it went off lol

At last !!! Got the wheels and tyres fitted. Sooooooooooooooooooo happy to get those miserable 15 inch steelies off

Same as the one's I have on my truck. Bit noisy at higher speeds, but a great buy though.

Yes m8. £215 delivered. I was worried because the tyre fitter said balancing these tyres was almost impossible, and two of them were asking for so much weight he didn't even bother trying anyway fitted them and its they are noisy low down about 30-50 but seem to get quieter as I increase speed. I haven't done over 65 on them yet , but no wheel vibration at all yet

Looking good box, ideal for pulling me out mate!!!
What size u get?

255/70/16's mate , I thought you had a set of muddies ??

great improvement box

Cheers mate. The steelies were driving me mad. What the hell VX were thinking with those I have no idea.

Another comparison , before and after.

LOL.

I am hoping that as I'm one of the gate closers I'll be able to watch what everyone else does and keep out of trouble. Dunno why I said that, coz I know it wont work out like that

Also, handheld CB arrived. Either it's knackered or noone in North Wales uses CB anymore

I didn´t do it today, but day before yesterday. I sold my trusted Frontera. Lots of fun over five years, but it had to go, i need more room inside the car. I´m not happy or proud of what i´ve done. Shame on me.

BUT, this forum will still stay in my Favourites in my PC. Great forum!

Removed the plastic wheel cover off the back and mounted the spare maxxis that would not fit before.
Topped up the oil and all other fluids as needed.
Put a a fog.co.uk sticker on the front windscreen.

Power washed all the green slime off the windscreen in preparation for tomorrows trip. Checked the oil and started the old girl up just in case.
