WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Well ive got her back with a full MOT and now Road Tax! But there's allways a down side to everything i bloody do just lateley. Looks like i may have something wrong with my intercooler as she over heated and there was greasy black gunge in the top of the header tank when i got her home !!!!!!!!!

Feckin hell!!!!! :evil:

Chrissy's truck failed on 1 balljoint and exhaust leaking. Not bad for her old girl!!!!!!

well today i had a lose bolt on my hub so i took it apart to tighten it up and for that one had cracked :evil:

so both my manual hubs have cracked. not happy at all. so will call milners up on monday.
but i have ordered a new set of avm's insted. so when they get here, they will go on. and hopefully they wont crack

Both of mine are cracked too. Well you know what happened to one of them lol but the other one has cracks in it too.

Washed it in MUD :twisted:

This is tsupposed he Mk1s bighorns last week on the road its mot is up on the 15th the tax was up 31st oct . I have been waiting to get the calibra on the road and i still havent due to an insurance issue . So fingers crossed i get the issue sorted ans switch the insurance over tax the cali and put the bighorn in for its mot see how it goes well and doesnt need much then its going in a lock up . Unless it snows or floods it will stay there over winter next to the other mk1

Ive not done a thing to any of the cars in weeks. I still haven't washed the shorty from the Wales trip in September :lol:

Think the shorty needs fresh mud

Checking Fronty over for the dreaded mot. Stripped down all brakes, need new front pads, front flexi pipes, rear shoes ( plus fitting kit ), both rear wheel cylinders and brake cables both sides, omg. Also found a sort of torsion bar with a knackered bush on the drivers side about half way down the car, what is this please and where can I get a replacement ( can't see one on passenger side !) Also need a new windscreen, then I think its ready, oh and also sort out a badly fitted drivers seat!

today i get home to find a parcel here

and it is the hubs...

not bad for the same price as the milners hubs, new :twisted:

There nice!!!!!

So far I've put new front flexi brake pipes, new pads, new front shockers, and stripped rear drums down and ordered new wheel cylinders x 2. Got new shoes, fitting kit and cables and rear shocks to go on and rear spacers, front ones on last week. Other than the rain and having to cut one shock absorber off, Im enjoying doing this, glad I've got another car to get to work tomorrow tho

fixed LPG new solenoid coil, back on the 1/2 price stuff :dance:

Tinted the rear windows on the shorty. Green tint 65%

Well, the handbrake on Truck has been 'wanting' of late so I got a new set of Brake Shoes and Pads all round having decided I may as well change those ready for the MOT next month while I was on the job.

Starting on the O/S rear I got it in bits, pads okay so they will go back on, the handbrake shoes seemed to have lots of life in them too, well they would have if they werent covered in axle oil... Seems the rear bearing is somewhat fubared along with it's seal :roll:

it would answer why the handbrake is about as much use as our local MP.

Sooo.... One now needs to replace the rear wheel bearing, deep joy lol... I assume the bearing and shaft just 'pop' out when the bolts behind the brake cover are removed?

today i put the avm hubs on, and a made sure the logo's where the right way round

Ask in the "Brakes" section Frank :wink:

Okay fecking axles then :roll:

well today some one has changed the way the logo sits on the hubs :lol:

and i have done the long wheel base light conversion
