Went to the scrapys in Bonnybridge today, can't remember who on here it was that found it but cheers.

Managed to get a fuel tank guard in very good nik for only £10. :dance:

HAPPY DAYS.

Well finally got the nerve up to replace the "little sucker" (vacuum pipe leading from the back of the vacuum pump)

Not what you want to see.jpg

Some how I think it was about time it was replaced :shock:

No wonder I was down on vacuum pressure

I rather like that Greekfronty

Well just fitted a new bit of silicone hose to the air inlet on mine, but we had an ear piercing bone snapping time cracking fulcrum bolts on Andysd1's truck....ouch :lol:

Well yesterday I got my new mud tyres fitted, then today I removed the spare wheel carrier, replaced my radiator (burst while I was in some woods with no other trucks out) and stuck a sticker on the back

Installed a navigators map light to the windscreen pillar - then got confused in wiring it up - will have another go tomorrow.

Also, finally removed the manual brake bias thingy, unseized it, cleaned and painted it ready for re-installation tomorrow (if the hameright dries overnight).

removed 8mm of the shims from the o/s/f wheel leaving the individual ones alone, and still had 3mm in there, front wheels look almost straight, but tracking is out now, will get that done next week,

here is what she looked like when i got here,

then with the lift, and the 8js on

and now with the 31s balloon tyres, 10js 15" rims

Glad the shims went well, fooking arm still hurts :lol:

That last pic is the nutz mutz

nice one fella :dance:

Andy that LR pleave by Sefton Meadows charge £35 now for an aliment, they are loving the Frontera as its less ball ache than a LR :wink:

ste. i got furball to sit in the truck, and he had a grin like the cat who got the cream, reving the engine and smilling, you know what he is looking for now,

So he is selling his 2.8 to someone who will appreciate it then :lol:

When are you swapping him :rotfl:

Spill the beans, I better not have nearly broke my arm for nothing :lol:

nooo, keeping the v6, and trying to wangle her to keep the trailer,

the new toy is cool,

got to get rid of the other two small trailers

Adjusted the rear calipers so the handbrake will now hold the car when you lean on the back ... stupid design that requires you to tweak it every 2 seconds as it self un-adjusts with the wind, meaning the handbrake is nothing more than something to lean your knee against when your driving.

Swapped the lower shock bushes for nice new poly ones ... ride is noticebly firmer ... took me ages to get the bleeding rubber bits out of them as they were glued in.

Repaired the front passenger door lock as it wasn't opening on the central locking. Was pleasantly surprised to find the motor part wasn't a sealed unit and opened it to find dirty contacts and gummed up, so gave everything a good clean and greased it a little. Works a treat now.

I have told my mum she can use my fronty as her car off the road. This should be intresting my mum drive`s like a stock car racer and is a wee 5ft thing with major road issues. She believes bumpers are parking aids thats why the fit them maybe i should not of removed the soft nudge bar i only have bumper on the front now

She is either going to love driving it or hate it think she collects it tonight or tommorow i shall miss it
