[andysd1]

he has just phoned me, it bloody failed, dot know what yet, be back in 30mins, with the list

[andysd1]

well, here is the list,


offside front body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings,

n/s/f front brake pipe chafed,

n/s/r parking brake no recording

parking brake below requirements,

he also said, it sounds like the the o/s shoes sound like they are grabbing,
and the brakes are spongy, they have been bled, but still feel the same,

[James Bass]

No biggy. Set of discs/pads less than £50 per axle delivered. Handbrake shoes aren't much either. I know...just renewed all mine. lol.

[andysd1]

pads and discs all new,

[James Bass]

Brake fluid change maybe??

[andysd1]

changed, got a feeling it might be the vacuum in the wing, he did mention something about power bleeding

[James Bass]

I remember you and Ste mentioning something about that when you first got the truck.

[andysd1]

never heard of power bleeding

[James Bass]

I mean you were talking about the vac tank.

[andysd1]

im not to botherd about that, yet, as i did not fail on that,

[BoxCleva]

Replaced leak off's and diesel filter. Had a biatttttchhhhhhhh of a time bleeding the little sod, but got there in the end. Will post more info with pics in the 2.2D section.

[James Bass]

So you why did you do it twice Si?

[BoxCleva]

oops, sorted

[Bearcat]

Got 4 new tyres 255x75x15 Black Star m&s (French make). Found a small fuel leak on the flex pipe between filter and pump, poss cause of failure to start when parked uphill, My local Opel Dealer says engine parts for 2.3TD no longer available from Opel France, is this the writing on the wall ? Examined brake pads and shoes, maybe 6 months left before replacement. Looked on eBay fr. for a 2.8.

[James Bass]

I topped up the power steering fluid as there's a small leak in one of the joints behind the o.s wheel arch. Also think I've found a leak by the thermostat...there's some pinky white stuff around there. Yet another job on the list.
