WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Nice one drinks. Need to get a couple of those.

Up early in preparation for Banshees dreaded annual medical (read MOT).

Fingers crossed lads.

and my new rear bumper is done, fitted and painted

Took her for a spin to charge the battery up, sussed the passenger side front brake was binding :roll:

So off with the wheel, then the slider, top one fine but then the bottom slider bolt wouldnt budge, and you just now its going to snap....and snap it did :evil:

So whizzed it off and toddled to my shed, checked the brake parts bin and yup you guessed it, a spare caliper carrier and slider bolt was in my brake parts bin :dance:

So just need to wind back the piston and grease up the sliders and reassemble :thumbup:

It pays to be a hoarder :angel:

Ste I had that happen on my last truck ,I just soaked it in wd40 for a bit then drilled a hole in the correct spot to get a punch in to drive it out .I then blocked the hole with a rubber bung and it lasted till the truck died..I still have it in my mates lock up

drove it to pick up a new starter motor. then spent this afternoon search ebay for a bigger set of wheel & tyres no luck as yet

All sorted, though think it may need a new caliper :roll:

it keeps sticking

Moved the number off the grill to a proper mounting point just to keep mr policeman happy.

Well done drifty. Probably find you just need a new seal and repair kit to sort it.

Found an old caliper after a bit of ferriting around in the shed so will treat the to the kit I have had in the shed for a while :thumbup:

Bit of grafting with a wire brush and some wire wool, and your done then.

Not today but over the last week or so,
2 new drop links - nice gold ones

2 new top ball joints - now flipped

1 new outer cv joint -OS
1 new inner cv joint -OS
1 new driveshaft - OS :evil:

1 new interior - complete leather kit with door cards oh and the fronts are heated :twisted:

Cut some of the panels so they are completely scratch free and good wax :mrgreen:

Later today will go with fuel filter and oil and filter change.

What would normally get changed at the 120,00 mile mark? Not there yet but might as well pick the stuff up for it.

you have to be a bit careful when changing the fuel filter on the dti dont you ?

Nah not with changing it, just with starting it afterwards making sure you either bled the fuel through to the rail or get no air in there to start with- there's a little how to on here I followed the first time I did it and it works a treat

I'll find the link in a min.
