WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[fogman]

i dont know much about diesels apart from the fact its the kiss of death for the fuel pump on the 2.2 to run it out of fuel so id make sure its definitly got enough in it

[montrehomme]

Yeah, I drove it into the barn, so it never ran out of fuel, just that I had decided to replace the leak off pipes after seeing that a couple of them were wet, and it was running sluggish anyway.

So I WILLINGLY turned it into a non runner , decided to replace all vac pipes with silicone whilst about it, and clean EGR and inlet.

Not cranked it more than a couple of times since working on it, so just the SIMPLE task of getting fuel to the pump

[fogman]

good luck then mate

[red5]

Nothing - had to take the dog out in the Green Oval as was greeted with this this morning -





Bugger.

Now where have i seen that before? Oh yes sunday morning about an hour and a half before fetching my folks, problem was had mt 15 inch wheels on and my spare is 16 inch so had to fit my standard 16inch wheels back on. Never changed 4 wheels so quickly

[crash_ndie]

broke it

[andytats]

Took off the tow bar from the landy and add a heavy duty fuel tank guard 5mm galvanised steel. Then I removed the exhaust back box and added part of the old frontera exhaust to make a side exit exhaust

[gregster]

Does it growl now andy????

[Drift]

Andy, your landy mates will flip if they hear about that

[andytats]

I hoped it would Greg but sadly it made no Difference at all
Stu they Probably would as well

[RatCav]

Landytats LR mates are already shouting at him for removing all the LR badges and fitting a complete set of Vauxhall Frontera badges.

As for me nothing. Waiting for the fuel pump to come back from the shop after having a complete new seal kit fitted. Then its all back together again with new timing belt, glow plugs, and power steering belt. Will also be setting the pump up for a couple of extra horses, and then tweaking the fuel regulator.

[gregster]

You need a zzzorst on that too Neal...make it growl a bit more...
The way it looks, it needs to buddy!

Truck:
Started it, drove it, parked it.

O-no:
Finally managed to grind/club/muller the O/S Bottom Ball Joint off (ended up getting one of these to get the thing off, this + this would not touch it) Once the joint was seperated it came out pretty easy. Had to use a bolt in the end of the drive shaft to pull it back into place so I could get the circlip on though.

Jobs left... Bit of welding (2 sill ends and a small hole in the chassis I found behind one of the side step fixing plates) and adjust steering.

[gregster]

Well done that man...another 2.8 is nearly saved,

[RatCav]

Exhaust is on the cards. Needs the hole in the gearbox tunnel and new carpets first.

[s1lvafox30]

well done some work on bob today had some play in the steering wheel needed two bolts doing on the steering column also got chance to look at my lights as my fogs and one spot was not working sorted them out and while i was there changed all the bulbs for xenon white ones also put a new stereo in and new speakers all round as the factory ones was well past it lol for the life of me tho i carnt get the washers to work for the window screen the wipers work just not the washer jets ?

[snapper]

Truck:
Cleaned the rubbish out of the boot.

O-no:
Got bored so I adjusted the steering, it no longer feels like tacking when going down the road! It's not as easy to do on this one as it is on Truck... AC stuff gets in the way!

Found the water leak as well, seems the water pump is not what it used to be, so that'll be the spare one coming out of the shed then. Might as well do it when the cam belt arrives from milners.

Jobs left... Welding, water pump, cam belt. MoT.

[Loneranger]

Found some suitable bolts, fitted my bullbar and wired lights in.



Cheers Pete

[gregster]
