WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[BoxCleva]

Bought a new (well old actually) Frontera Sport pickup.

Didn't get it home until 5pm, but it's been cleaned since these pics - levels checked and 2 litres of oil chucked in the rear diff.

Pics here http://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g85/b ... a%20Sport/


EDIT: Link fixed.

[bigdazz]

very nice mate looks good ,is that the one that was for sale on here ?

[BoxCleva]

Yes mate, it was frontycustoms truck.

[James Bass]

Si. That link you put up has no pics of ya new truck. It points to the thread for recovery points.

Took drivers door apart to cure a rattle, found at least 1/2kg of shattered window glass in the bottom, hoovered out and removed several large sections of skin whilst doing so.

Found door lock rod rubbing against door panel, glued in some foam, rubbing stopped.

"Plumbed" in wire to fit switch for spots, will connect tomorrow or Sunday

All removed door parts were scrubbed clean in hot soapy water

Central locking adjusted to work properly

Attempted to mount spare wheel on roof, without a roof rack, this was deemed a crappy idea by me, and thus will wait until roof rack is made. Tyre will now reside in the boot for now

Whilst fitting in switch wire, found a circuit board wrapped in brown parcel tape, with several yards of wires poking out, also attached with electrical tape were two black boxes of indetermite origin, and one lone grey wire with "ariel do not cut" written on it. I suspect it is a basterdised/homemade/shoddy repaired immobilizer - pics to follow.

A busy afternoon.

[BoxCleva]

Yeah if i can pick up a roof cheaply I may well convert it back. It's already causing arguments with the kids

[rospicer]

[BoxCleva]

The only reason is that all my daughters love greenlaning so there is bound to be a day when all three want to come at the same time.

[rospicer]

I see, are you going to sell your dti on then

[MrWolf]

Replaced all rubber seals on my leaking front brake caliper. Hope this cures my loss of brake fluid

[BoxCleva]

rospicer - possibly

[Big Dav]

It rained, as forecast, but no drips appeared around the sunroof seal - this may be progress. On the down side, have heard a scraping noise from the back of the car when either accelerating or turning - intermittent at the moment and have not got a clue what is causing it but its definitely in the mechanicals as it is more apparent when the windows open. Hmmm.

[Drift]

Pop the question in the techi area Dave, should get some ideas posted there

[john (smifffy)]

taxed both fronty's and then decided to sell the sports
had it nearly 3 yrs but not used it hardly in last year
i lent a mate it for 2 months while he fixed his
and the son used it in the bad weather
and i used it one day a week just to keep it moving
seemed a waste to leave it parked up most of the time

so im down to just the one now

[Drift]

The bargain Cornish 2.2 eh Smiffy

[dave1966]

One light not working.


Managed to get the light sorted that wasnt working and it was a bad connection.
