I replaced all 4 of mine not long ago and only cost me £150 for all reconned units. Just handed them my old ones. I know it's a b series. Wouldn't have thought there would be much difference in price though.
Oh that was from car spares.

Not what I done to the truck today but what I used part of a truck for.
we have a burst water main to our part of the street it went at about 3 yesurday morning. We have had the water board out trying to fix it since then. So today I've had to do a couple of trips to the garages up the road to get water. filled up 5x 2ltr pop bottles for tea, coffee , cooking , washing up, and filled up an old fuel tank for flushing the toilet

Started to swap the back axle on Truck, got all bolts/nuts loose ready to come off apart from the anti-roll bar drop links, those I can not shift. In defference to it being Boxng Day and the town is so bl**dy quiet you would hear a mouse fart (even BZN is quiet, no planes running up etc) play has now stopped until the morning. Tommorrow Mr Angle Grinder is coming out to play... Heres to hoping that the local factors is open and they have some new ones in stock!
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.

Truck
Axle is now off, managed to get one drop link off, had to gring the other one off. Local factors are open (bonus....) but they don't have a drop link in stock
Now just got to get the replacement axle on.... Oh and it's nice n sunny here too

Tried again to resolve poor running issue.
Ran a can of fuel straight to fuel primer and still running gutless. So I guess that rules out fuel line issues.
Need to change turbo but just cant get motivated.
Really running out of any enthusiasm for this truck......

Truck
Replacement Axle now fitted. Surprisingly it went on with no problems at all, everything lined up nice. Handbrake shoes and drum/disks also fitted. Just need to make up and fit some new brake lines, bleed the main brakes. Make up and plumb in a new axle breather pipe which will then be run up to the engine bay. Oh and fill it with oil too.
