WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Picked my exhaust centre box up out of the middle of the road, f#@&ing thing

Failed MOT on upper and lower ball joints, both sides, hazard warning light switch, fuel pipe, and CV gaiter. Spent all week putting new ones on, never done anything like this before,,,what a ~~~~~ of a job,lol.
Not being in the slightest mechanical, i struggled, but with help from my Son in law got it sorted

Well done Bassjocky

We all started somewhere, and its only by doing things yourself you learn.

Ball joints aren't the easiest of things and can be a real pain even for the best of us.

Did half my brakes :oops:

passenger side disks and pads done.
Was starting to rain before I started the driver side so gave up, got till Monday to sort it for the retest :roll:

Had a customer at work directed towards me today asking about a frontera that they had been offered...Its a 2.2dti auto on a W plate...apparently he got offered it for £1000 with 80 odd K on the clock....told him about the fuel pump etc and he seemed pretty happy...so might have a new FOGer in Cambridge soon

Other than that...nothing on mine, other than bought a new (to me) starter for the 2.8, so mine should be back up and running next week

Oil n filters changed and while i was at it, managed to slip a 3" lift under her! :mrgreen:

And now

Oi ! Before you get too mullered get some pics up mate :lolno:

snapped the driver side caliper carrier changing the brake pads :cry:

so nipped to allvox and now got some replacements

guess what im doing tomorrow :roll:

Just remeber who your talking to bud!!! Pics!!! yeah right!! :roll:

Il get our lass to on it after the weekend as im laying 66sm of turf on my back garden n building a 35ft retaining wall sat n sun :oh yer:

Oh and i havnt got the faintest how to do it! :lol:

LOL. If you need me to host/post them gimme a shout :thumbup:

Oh it is !

shoved a 10mm high tensile bolt through the bulkhead and the clutch pedal bracket , no more creaky flexing :dance:

Finished doing the drivers side disks and pads and the rear bushes for the retest on Monday, :lol:

However while doing said disk and pads had to change the caliper too as mine was leaking :shock:

might explain the imbalance :shock:

The rear bushes were well gone and I wouldn't have noticed :oops:

Just took it for a quick once around the block to check the brakes work and I realised I really need to look at some stiffer shocks as nose diving is an understatement :twisted:
