WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[fogman]

took mine for mot yesterday & it failed on little or no rear brakes its been infected by RatCavs troopers disease

[adyclemo]

Fixed ny fuel sender for the 2nd in 6 months, think this time was my fault.

The green wire is what i had replaced last time and has come adrift, i couldnt have soldiered it on very well.




It should look like this.

[AskDean]

got my engine and gearbox jioned together

just fitting the rest of the bits that bolt on like the aircon altanator carbs

let you know how i get on with the rest later

[AskDean]

breathed life into the ruddy thing before having to swap two injectors as Yellow watering oil all over just need put the rad back in

got a nice shiny new altenator for the 2.5 isuzu thats in the Bserise for £95 bargen i think

[snapper]

It's a 2.8 ....... so did an oli n filter change. Again

[adyclemo]

I also changed oil and filter first time in 12months when it should have at least had 2

[AskDean]

right got my car running i now have a spigot bearing and fly wheel for a manual 3.2 v6, spare phellum changer, and now i have 4 spair injectors and all the sensors on the engine. as the new engine had everything on it but the starter motor and power steering pump and aircon pump.

so will have a lot of parts including a spare head and bottom end going as soon as i get round to tiding up what i need and what is spare. then have a discount auction so i can try and recoop some of the money i have been had over with on this one

[robbie]

Thought that might get some ones intrest lol. I got horses45 silver Bserice off him in january and was finding it extremely hard to find a realy good 2.2i engine to put in her so, i came across a VX Brava pickup(2.5td isuzu) that had been in a smash and came to what i think is a very good deal for the engine and what ever else i wanted off it (£200).
So that is now sitting in place of the 2.2i just awiting the converted (http://s1138.photobucket.com/albums/n53 ... 20trooper/) 2.2dit gear box to be fitted, and then wired up.

[BoxCleva]

Nice one Robbie, that sounds like a very interesting conversion. Any probs fitting the 2.5 or was it pretty straightforward ?

[robbie]

the lump went straight in as they use the same engine mounts. i have 2 choices to keep the EGR system or not. The 4x4 can be rewired to work just the front axle very easily so you can use a standerd 2.8 gearbox if you wish. But you will have to change the front and rear prop flanges as they rae diffrent . I am planning on doing a how to when all is done though

[BoxCleva]

[robbie]

Just hope i can get the pic's to up load propa as they don't normaly lol, as i hate it when you go to a post and the link to the pic's is out of date or have been moved or don't exist any more lol

[BoxCleva]

If you need any assistance at all in that regard matey , PM me and I'll get them permanently hosted for ya.

[robbie]

Cheers bud that i will indeed

[rospicer]

Started her up and went for a drive for the 1st time in almost 3 weeks, Thinking its time to get her into the workshop for some TLC before the weekender in the woods

[AskDean]

what i did to today was a miracle i turned the key amd called forth the gods of war and the money pit breathed fire after putting in a new engine



just realised my phones mic is poor no bass
