WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[RatCav]

That is some serious air you have in those arches now. Looks good lads.

As for me I had another go at fixing my passenger window. Works out I can get power to the motor from the drivers switch, but nothing happens when you use the passenger switch. Either way the bleeding thing refuses to budge. I think amongst other things the motor is goosed. Now to find another which could be a challenge. Wondering if an A series motor is the same.

Hello All,

well, today I only put off the front shelter to have a look where the b***** h*** the oil is leaking...





Not the seal of the sump, but of the pump!
This amount of oil is pressed out whie running engine appr. 5 min with low rpm:





So with the lack of tools for lifting the motor and enough experience, the Mrs will take the Ford Fiasko the next week!

Well it ain't going to go rusty Dan

When you replace the front seal NEXT WEEK make sure you take care taking out the old one. Inspect the crank end for any scoring and damage using a mirror and torch. Clean it up properly, then when putting the new one in you need to have it dripping in oil to help go in smoothly and evenly.

Then remember we told you how to drive really carefully and slowly to bed the new rear one in ... guess what YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THE SAME

Dan, no one has edited it, you must not have posted correctly.

[BoxCleva]

Erm Actually , looking back through the logs it would appear I've done it! I do remember editing a typo so I'm not quite sure what happened there Dan. Sincere apologies, if you PM me what was lost I'll re post it for you or you can edit the post yourself.

Sorry bud, genuine mistake.

[AskDean]

took my 02 sensors out of exhaust waiting for guy to drop universal ones off and fired it up for a giggle sounded like a top fuel dragster
didn't half make my neighbor jump as was stood by front of truck when i fired it up and they hadn't seen me remove the two sensors lol

[gazza1591]

It was yesterday but replaced the inlet gaskets on the V6 (well Colley did thanks so much for doing it mate top job and she has been running fine since )

[AskDean]

[justdan]

the clan washed her

[AskDean]

swapped a 02 sensor for a £15 universal one and went for 3 mile drive

happiest man alive

just got to wait for it to cool down so i can swap the other one out and swap that one as well

[BoxCleva]

Cheap fixes are always more satisfying Dean


I filled mine to the brim with proper legit diesel!. Ouch, that hurt

[James Bass]

U must have more money than sense Si. Wish I could afford £140 for diesel in one go!

[BoxCleva]

Putting it in all in 1 go or 30 quid here and there makes no difference mate. What does help is that he supermarket where me and Mrs Box had just done the shopping was offering 7p a litre off the price of fuel if you spent over 50 notes in the shop

[Drift]

Bloody hell Si how big is your tank, mine takes £107 for 76 litres of diesel as of Sunday
