Nothing yet but im taking it for a blast down to portsmouth and back and currently letting the rain clean him for me! heehe

installing new steering box

This really belongs to yesterday - but it's what I shouldn't have done - whilst the interior rear quarter panels/cards were removed I thought I'd have a go at pushing some of the dents out of the rear quarters. Was able to gain access through the rear speaker holes. Not enough room to swing a hammer so had the brilliant idea of putting a scissor jack in between the outer and inner skins. Was working OK when the first dent popped back out. Tried the second dent and couldn't turn the jack screw by hand, so I inserted my favourite dumpy screw driver into the hole for leverage. Working OK until I dropped to screw driver which fell right to the bottom and is now sitting in the sill. Tried fishing with an extending magnet, no joys, then tried putting a wodge of sticky tape on the end of a pole but that failed also. So now my favourite dumpy is trapped in the inner depths of my sill. I expect it's feeling like the Chilean miners.

These dent pullers are poo, I tried and it unsucked and nearly punched myself in the mush :oops:

No

have you not got one of those three pronged grabber things

Turn the truck upside down and it should just fall out...if not then shake it.

Today I fixed my old alternator (bodged it more like) as the current one decided that it should overcharge on the way home. Fitted it back on the truck and the EML light doesn't come on now (except when it does it's pre-test)..its all in another thread
