WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Collected it and brought it home.......................Oh sorry forgot to mention it's a 2.4i LWB oh yes we are a 2 truck family again

Cheers
Dan

Said..... hello stranger .....to the glow plug warning light,have not seen it for 10 months :wink:

I put my "new" calliper on, bled the brakes and took it for a run.

Also with the help of a mate located the source of my rubbling noise at the back :dance:

Drivers side rear brakes are rubbing.

i put some anti freeze in the trooper & the sports that should cover them for the winter

tightened the fan belt to stop the squeeling that developed at the last laning session
Refitted a tube to fanblower so i have now proper air ciculation again
Cleaned and dryed indicator connection that was causing indicator not to work also caused during last laning session (big red fronty has a lot to answer for :wink:

)
Cleaned it :shock:

Looked at lwb lights units to do conversion but put them back in garage,gave up and had a cuppa

Swapped the wheels n tyres over from the 2.4i to the 2.5tds....

The 2.5tds is now sporting a lots more grippy set of Camac a/t's...

The 2.4 sulking in the background as it now has cr4p tyres!!! :lol:

I put some petrol in it and went for a drive.First time I have been fit enough to drive properly since august. I drove around the blackcountry and some country roads in staffordshire and really enjoyed myself.

i had a problem with my heater (only got cool air) the top matrix pipe got hot and the bottom 1 stayed cold
so i Flush & backflush the entire cooling system repeatedly until clear water flows freely in both directions,then fill with water & antifreeze now i have hot air in the cab. job done

Well this weekend i insured the truck again and took it for a drive to Wigan to pick up a trailer and its running fine, the only problem i got is where its bin stood for so long the the rear brakes are binding a bit. Good to have it back on the road again.

Ta mate, just checking. Mine doesnt seem as warm as it should be and im sure the blower used to blow hotter air much faster then it does now.

Just sat in mine and watched dvd's(cant do much else at the moment :lol:

)
Roll on tuesday morning as the new oil pump gears arrive then :dance:

Well its colder again and mine is not so quick to start.Last time this meant new glowplugs, but can I find when I changed them? I log just about everything I do on it, but must have missed this out. Went to see a mechanic and booked it in for an mot this friday and discussed replacing the steering idler.Ambled onto work where it sat outside the workshop til I went home in it.Definately going better after its Bournemouth trip last Sunday.
