Made a start on Truck and removed the gearbox bash plate and both propshafts. Then me and Angie got taken out for a meal by the youngest daughter.

Ordered hydraulic timing tensioner, spark plugs, non a/c serp belt, new v groove idler, a fuel filter and an air filter for £106 inc delivery and import VAT from Rock Auto. Screweth youeth Vauxhall UK. All Gates/Mann/Champion kit too.

Ridiculous that you can import it all from across the pond for peanuts.

Anyone struggling for V6 Exhausts (list entire Bosal or Walker system inc CATs), Lambda Sensors and ABS sensors get onto them, super cheap to cheap. Isuzu Rodeo/Frontera B potato tomato. Bits arrive in 14 days.

Front to rear brake lines, advisory on MOT so I've done them.

Fitted New ABS Sensors and cleaned up the ABS rings.

New Front Pads & Disks

And Finished replacing the vacuum hoses.

Fitted new second hand rear tailgate door. Used my own wiper motor now the flippin thing won't stop!!!! Have unplugged it until i can get round to sortin it! At least i can open and close it!

Been playing with my new toy....Ingersoll rand w7150 cordless impact gun!!!

I thought my sealey 1/2" Battery impact gun was good, (I think this opened a few eyes down the woods as to what a cordless could do changing wheels in the tyre changing holes, and buzzing caravan jacks)...

until I got my Hilti 1/2" drive gun...which was much more powerful and usefully compact...

BUT...
These are all blown into insignificance by my new toy...
Almost 1100ftlb of reverse torque for cracking stubborn stuff!!!! It proper trys to spin you round...

Havent managed to find anything that this cant do with ease today, including crank pulleys, hub nuts, rusted suspension components....even puzzed my mates hgv truck wheel nuts straight off...
Well impressed...they aint cheap, but they are pretty damn awesome...Apparantly out performs the snapon guns easily, and is cheaper than their biggy.

I was trying to fit wheel arc trims bought from a limited edition but I thing it needs drilling the fender. Has anyone done it .

Dont drill your bodywork, just stick the arches on with sikoflex or similar panel adhesive.

Finally got the perfect combination a day off and some nice weather , so I got around to fixing my dicky speedo , just got to sort a ball joint then MOT time

Ditto as above

After too many weeks sorting out the D2 its back on the Frontera

Dropped the fuel tank and replaced all the fuel lines and tank breather with new plastic lines

Removed rear lights and the loom under the car, stripped back the loom as I am going to run it through the car instead of underneath. Separated the wires for the fuel sender from the loom and reattached to the tank and refitted the fuel tank.

Today I did what could be considered the mist important mod of them all and fitted my pink fluffy dice

Popped mine in for MOT and guess what ? It failed but not too badly number plate bulb loose nut on the rear anti roll bar and the worst bit a new steering idler required.not too bad for a 17 year old work horse ...

Whats wrong with pink fluffy dice Bobby? I'll have you know they proper improve the mpg of a truck!!!

Called the AA out to mine.

Ignition barrel decided to jam, the very nice man came out and dismantled the steering, removed the locking mechanism and got me going again.

Now i just need to find another key and barrel to replace my screwdriver ignition.
