A big welcome back to you.... but as they say ------> :ttiwwp:

Come on now, you said pics by tommorrow and it's tommorrow now :wink:
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

Re: just got back..... by king of the kitchen on Mon Feb 21, 2011 9:25 pm
Truck performed faultlessly never missed a beat never used any water or oil and it got pushed hard some days only had to put some air in the back tyre as it was a tad low,,17psi,,,, :shock:
other than that it was returning approx 30 mpg which was unbelievable,,,i was paying 10 dirrams a ltr for petrol thats bout 70-75p a ltr my buddy was paying 7 dirrams for diesel,,,bout 54p ltr so its a diesel next time for me,,,,the rear springs i put on were a godsend,,they soaked up everything and performed great glad i did that,,,i put a few turns on the torsion bars and that gave me a squeek when it was dry but when they got wet it was ok,,,,so any help on that would be good,,,,so im totally wrapped with my little fronty she did the job above the call of duty,,,,,, :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
