WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

i drove through lots of puddles big puddles

I put in the new tax disc and gave her a squirt of some smelly stuff to keep her nice and fresh inside.
Also wrote a little notebook (with contents and everything), for planning my future mod's. Can't wait to get started!!

Thought about changing the other ball joint as the MOT is due but was feeling full of cold and a bit snotty so stayed inside by the fire and felt sorry for myself instead.

Cold !!! this is the warmest day we had in months

Cold, Flu type thingy ;-)

Gimmie an A BJ anyday, have you seen the sill way of retaining a B? Ah well, get well soon Phil.

Spent all day trying to get Tessie started.
3 flat batteries and a jump pack later she still wont start

START DAMN YOU, START :lol:

took the passenger seat out hoping to fit the mk2 astra gte seats sadly they did not fit so they going up for sale

Refitted the rubber gearstick gaiter in the 2.8lwb...cos Sally complained that her handbag got wet when I drove through some 2ft deep floods the other day!!

Tried retorqueing the noisy front wheel bearing...its now much much.....tighter but sadly no quieter!

Moved the caravan to its new parking space...only to find has approx 100kg of negative nose weight....found this out when I buzzed the last jack at the rear up with the cordless impact wrench and I got wedged between the caravan and the motorhome parked right behind it, as the nose of the van pointed to the sky!!! :oh yer:

Buzzed the jack back down, hitched the car up to it and then it was fine....
MUST REMEMBER to reload the van before wind the rear jacks up again!!!! :lol:

Then tried to find all the bits for the nitrous fogger kit that is up the workshop...need to stop the li'll white leafer bogging down on the dumpers and a 50bhp squirt would do just the jobby and keep the revs up when they needed...
found most of the bits but cant find some of the solenoid valves and the 5th injector...
Will have another look another day

you are one crazy SOB Gregster :lol:

Cant wait to see the first fronty with NOS

Changed offside lower ball joint.
Had a fiddle with the handbrake. Marginally better but for some reason the nearside aint locking up? Will have to have a proper look tomorrow.
Popped an extra shim in the offside upper control arm. Camber now spot on again.
Discovered a loose earth connection for the offside xenon balast so nipped that up.
Nipped up the nearside wheel bearing.

And all because the dreaded MOT is due on friday.

Forgot to mention, put the rear light cluster lenses in the dishwasher. All shiny now

SHE LIVES,
Got Tessie running today,She smokes a little but she is running.(timing is slightly out,the smoke smells of unburnt diesel and she has no power).tomorrow i will sort out the timing then i can think about getting her in for her mot.

Well done Rich

i changed the starter motor as i got fed up of rocking larna back and forth to get her started pulled out full centre console trace problems with my electric windows, my fronteraowners stickers arrived of tom today will be putting them on tomorrow,

Thought about fixing the handbrake but got distracted by a leaky exhaust manifold so I changed it and removed the air intake resonator and secondary air injection system instead.

Handbrake and maybe new exhaust tomorrow.

i fitted FOG stickers and fitted 80ch cb radio

Very productive couple of days, changed the power steering pump (lost lots of skin), managed to get front bash plate off (2 cans of WD40 later), fixed central locking to rear doors and got bash plates painted. Just gotta find out why the rear passenger side window wont open. Power is going to the switch but when you press it all the electrics in the car dim down to off but nothing happening to the window. Wiring looks ok but not had a good luck yet.

Shoved the child seat in the front plonked my 6 year old son in the child seat folded the back seats down an put the three wheeled bmx in the back. Drove too the BMX course to let my son have his first go. It was muddy and the ground was soft and his three wheeled bmx thing was no use so we went round the park. Saw a squirrel right next to us munching . Was a good day i got to be a DAD again for the day been a while since me and him had a day at the park together. My chest hurts from pushing him though god the air is cold.
