WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[gregster]

But I bet it took ages to trim all your fave 78's down to fit in the slot in that Kenwood!!

Bobby, did that 8 track to PC cable work? It wont take long to get the tapes on to Disks

I regreased the nearside bearing and reassembled it again, it's made next to no difference but the offside is the same so I'll just kick up a huge fuss if they try and fail it again. I also put my bfg muds on the front as they are much smoother on the road so shouldn't be kaining the bearings as much

Then I decided to 'fix' the shifters so I don't have to hold it in 2nd and 4th gear. All is well, I've had to bin the rubber boot because that just isn't going to fit anymore, but it reminds me of when I drove gregs old 2.8 lwb as to get 1st you have to almost punch the ashtray lol but it works and feels really good to drive

You could allways get the gearstick cut and a small piece welded back in and change the angle slightly. I did it on one of my old cars!

Cheers for the offer but it's all sorted now. It's because it has a body lift on it the shifters where hitting the gearbox tunnel. So I cut and welded them but as a consequence 1st gear is in the ashtray lol

Got ya, the quadrant wouldnt have solved that problem. I guess the only way is to extend and then bend the levers.

[RatCav]

Take the stick out .. notch it with a grinder .. bend it backwards a bit (trial fit to make sure its enough) then when your happy fill the notch with weld.

Don't do what Andytats did with mine where he took too much out and it snapped when he bent it to fit

[hipo1024]

That's exactly how I did it I assume everyone else is having to ditch the rubber boot thing? I only have the leather bit stopping things from falling out of the car lol

[RatCav]

I flipped mine upside down, then put the leather gator on as normal.

[andytats]

You only need the bend the rear edge of the tunnel downward's then you can fit the rubber gaitor back on.
Or you can cut the rear edge back by 2cm then add 2cm to the front edge then refit the gaitor.

If you don't have the rubber gaitor fitted then you will get wet feet when you did the carwash in Wales

.. or the puddles of Thetford Forest

And so after a small argument with the bloke it now has a pass. They failed it telling me it sounded rough and you could feel some vibration through the top wishbone, but on the sheet he put down it had excessive play. So I argued that it doesn't have any play in it at all and the now I've regreased it it's no worse than the other side that was ok on Friday. Then he had the cheek to try and charge me for the retest. Anyways I walked out of there at no extra cost to me with a pass. This ginger gets nasty when angry lol

[4x4 bobby]

Nice one Dan!!!!

[Hound Dog]

Taxed him. Now to see how he runs with his replacement turbo.

[gregster]

Nice one Dan....finally managed to beat it through an MOT....

Did you threaten the curse of the gingerness upon the tester???

[4x4 bobby]

No Mate he told the MOT Tester that if he didn't pass it this time he was going to send his Greg Donk to pay him a visit!!!!!!!!!

Handy having a Greg Donk!!!!!!!!!!!!

[andytats]

I reckon dan threatened to take off his trousers if the car didn't pass
