Not to the truck but I fitted a boost gauge to the A pillar of the cav. Not bad for a diy job

[snapper]

Not me (well, not all of it, cheers for the help lads) Truck had it's rear shocks replaced at the BBQ/Spanner thingy at Bobbys. Bit of a job apparantly.

Last night on leaving work i put the keys in the ignition but no lights. So thought what did i leave on? Checking i could see nothing. So i put the jump pack on and got dash lights and the electric fan that i had put in. I started It, took the pack off jumped in to be met by smoke billowing from my CB radio wires they were glowing nice in the dark. Turned it off. Checked under the dash to find that for some reason the new electric fan i had fitted had decided to start while i was in work and use all the power from the battery and then melt all the wires. I ripped them all out and managed to drive home. Its now sat on the car park looking a bit forlorn!!! Will sort it when i get time. I have disconnected the battery !!!!

The last week i have been sorting the drivers welding inner and outer sills of the Bighorn that the previose owner made a mess off. Once the rain calms down will do other other side sort the bubbling on arches then i will sadly be selling or swapping it.

Who ever let the idiot loose with a welder should be slapped he patched rust how he managed to weld a metal patch on to rust is amazing rather than cut the rust out he just welded onto it . Meaning i had to cut the 75% of it off an shape metal to match the original inner and outer least its solid again

Removed the gearbox from the 2.5. I couldn't be ar5ed to get underneath so I did this


Once the floor was out it it was so easy to lift the gearbox out

[Rich]

Not mine but Alfie's 2.8 Changed the rear brakes and the front wheel bearing also secured his front seats as the bolts had come loose. Just a few more little jobs to do and it will be ready for it's MOT.

Went and collected my new boat and towed it home, much to sallys delight...

The mast on it was a bit longer than expected, and struggled to clear the discos roof, so had to angle it up a lot, which kinda made it stick up way more than was sensible...got some funny looks though...gonna extend the front of the trailer, which will make launching easier too...
