""WELL DONE THAT MAN""

[andytats]

Well done Neal it's good seeing one saved for a change Instead of being parted out.

[RatCav]

Cheers guys. God the 2.3 is slow compared to the 2.8 lol.

[andytats]

Lol I thought the 2.8 was slow compared to the 2.5

[gregster]

....but the 2.8 gets you there without a recovery truck andy...and 2 days before the 2.3 arrives...

[andytats]

[RatCav]

You know .. with some silver paint I could change the 2.3 to look like 2.8.

[gregster]

What you mean paint it all silver blurry, to give the impression of speed?

More likely it would look like a big one of these going down the road...

[RatCav]

You have to admit Greg .. driving a mother tank down the high street is very cool.

[gregster]

Cool maybe...but not that practical sadly...

Charged the battery on the 2.8, changed the wheels and tyres over to the Coopers, tweaked the front wheel bearing adjustment, got some diesel and took it for a drive, first time for a long time

[andytats]

So far today I've replaced the front upper ball joints ( yes of course flipped ) only took me an hour to do both
Hopefully my new rear Monroe shocks turn up today then I'll fit them.

Got Dave mot'ed today straight through with no advisories.. Chuffed to fcuk I can tell you He has been stood for 6 months. Had slight "issues" with a binding handbrake but impact maintenance cured that YAY!!!!!!!

[RatCav]

Nice one Paul!

As for me I drove her to work for a test drive. So far so good. Just need to give her a good service and then its manual hubs and 2" suspension lift

[JEOH]

Got sorted today the rotten fuel hose from inlet to tank and the smaller breather hose.






Take a look at your hoses - in the beginning they are leaking but the drops go into the dirt around the tank shelter...

Inner diameters are 50 mm and 22,5 mm if you wann go shopping asap.

[4x4 bobby]

Nice job Ian!!!!

[RatCav]

Nice job Jeoh ... now don't forget to clean those tools. Hate to think they got dirty

[4x4 bobby]

Wired in the fan that Drifty kindly donated hope it makes a difference to me fuel!!!!!

[colley]
