WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Found the reason most of my engine oil had mysteriously vanished, the oil filter had started to undo itself and weep oil. Ended up getting one of those special filter socket wrenches to give it a tweak. Got a ball joint squeaking somwhere so will have to sort that at some point.

Finally got round to mounting the spare permanently on the roofrack and removed the spare carrier from the tailgate, the truck looks mahusive now. Piccies to follow

I found that out early on in 2.8 ownership Jim :lol:

Today I ordered a new tyre, got a good deal £78 for a Maxiss Buckshot Mudder delivered, coz I ripped the side wall in the other on a lane at the weekend :oops:

Some good news though it might be able to be repaired as it never burst or cut all the way through the carcass, Lee's dad is going to check it out, so Ill now have a spare :dance:

What did you dou to your truck today?
Ferkin kicked it :evil:

I unloaded mine and gave it a clean. Nowt else.

Cheer up Graeme. :wink:

not kicking mine :wink:

but of a fluid and filter change not much but all helps.

Removed the spare wheel carrier , much tidier now ( one of the bolts was cross threaded , off to Halfords for some rubber grommet/bungs , anyone know what size before I buy a selection pack ? )

I just put the bolts back in :lol:

I did get round to painting them once........... the paint fell off :shock:

Well I had a very successful trawl around our "local" scrappy. Got a brand new fog light, CTS, gauge sender, 2x speedo sensors and speedo gear plus a couple of little bits of trim for a paltry £25

It's one of those nice yards that let ya clamber all over the vehicles too :twisted:

Fitted the fog light and now I'm gonna have to clean the other one to match so might as well do the whole car

Late posting :oh yer:

YESTERDAY,I did a mini fuel consumption test Telford to Barking return average was 33.7 mpg.

The main purpose was to collect a roof rack from FRONTY 4X4 for a mate`s van,what a nice man (& he makes a great cuppa :wink:

) had a good chat & looked at his Honda 90 it is seriously nice,anyone wanting one will go a very long way to better this one .

Darren,will drop your ratchet strap off next time I come over your way.

Cheers bud :dance:

Intreting fuel consumption figures there A friend

. Mine is the SWB 2.2 DTI and I think the fuel consumption is very similar to yours.

I have a feeling that the Turbo might not be giving Full Boost, not sure though, it would be nice to be able to compare the Engine Performance and Pulling Power to that of anouther Frontera................

But so far very pleased with the car, its the first Fronty I have owned ..................

Yep it is down about 10% on figures from two years ago :shock:

guess it is about nearly time to give it a service as it has not had a proper one since 72,000 it is now in excess of 118,000 :oops:

,must stop being lazy,must stop being lazy....................

You could probably do worse then spray a can of that carb cleaner stuff into it that drifty was waving around last weekend.
