WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Found out where my water is disappearing from, a week away from Bala

, radiator weeping in bottom corner....Not loosing too much water, around an inch in the expansion bottle over 400 to 450 miles (mostly motorway @ 60 > 70 ish) think that it will survive a trip to Bala, just have to be a little careful about mud in rad and keep an eye on levels. coolant change friday morning before I leave i think, just to be sure..

would replace it but the coinage seems to have vanished, thanks wife....well payday next week, just not enough time to get a replacement sorted....oh lets hope that rad weld works for a week or two.

Jon Ive got some liquid metal and some metal putty here if that helps?

You can pop over for it, I will be bringing it to Bala anyway, just let me know and Ill pm you my addy :wink:

If you do it before it gets worse you will at least save on anti freeze.

Well i had the starter motor give up on me friday so went to get another one from the vx breakers near me today only for me to break down on the way because both fuel hoses in the engine bay burst. I had to get recovered home but now all been sorted

Ive got the stuff you mix that is in separate tubes and the the stick type stuff where you cut a bit off and knead it, I also have a type thats in a tube but you use it like silicone with an applicator gun so all bases covered, this stuff sets really hard so well worth trying as a temporary fix.

We will keep and eye on it

got the use of a hoist so changed the gear box and transfer box oils, adjusted the hand break. Decided to see why the clutch pedal started to klick and wished i hadn't looked. :roll:

Now to find that other link to register with vx. I will have to and make a temp repair tomorow as taking a folding caravan up to Abingdon in the afternoon and starting a new job there on monday at Honda.

Left it parked in the drive & went for a spin in wifies skateboard :oops:

i used the sports today & put 6 bag's of cement in the back and 5 fence panel's & 4 8ft fence post's on the roof rack
then got home and replaced all the fence down one side of the garden :drink:

Made this this morning - wil fit it a little later today, hopefully:

I wonder what it could be for

Lawrence

I dunno

It`s for getting the nice patterns on burgers :lol:

I Know I Know I Know I Know

Its a hanging bird table

he just wanted to go one better than me :lol:

its a Volvo attachment, or its for the parachute

its a do it yourself satellite reciever :drink:

Well, it's fitted - not too sure how practicle it will be though, but we'll see in time.

In day to day use - just sitting there, not doing anything important:

Ready for use with the rubber mat fitted:

And finally, doing what it was designed to do - hold shackles close at hand (saves hunting in the boot for the shackles when in the heat of battle on a winch challenge event):

Also, fitted some insulating rubber sheet to the battery terminals

Also, hopefully later today, will get the bucket seats fitted (my mates motorbike has broken down in Oswestry, with him on it :cry:

)

Lawrence
