WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

We need a "how to do it".
Want some.
Oh yes.
By the way ...Tow started a green oval with one of those BMW things where an engine should be.

Set to on two more of the rims. Should have 4 ready for tyres next weekend.

Yesterday... broke down on a main road. Engine cut out at 50mph, coasted to the side, hazards on, traffic stacking up behind.

All the ignition lights were on, it would crank but would not fire. Popped bonnedt, disconnected and reconnected the MAF and Crank Position Sensor electrical connections, tried the key and it fired up - been fine ever since.

Looks like I'll gace to tweak the connectors to ensure a cood electrical connection - they're probably a bit worn.

I greased all the hinges, wiper mechanisms and the bonnet catch. Topped up the break & clutch fluid, and the PAS fluid...steering doesn't groan now. :lol:

Also adjusted the steering, and gave the interior a quick wipe over with some cleaning wipes. :wink:

Fixed the fault i had with under bonnet spots, (bad earth on truck and a loose connection at one of the spots),

Replaced a worn wheel bearing (noticed brake pads are nearly shot so baught new ones for another day),

Washed all the crappy salt off the truck.

Finally got my hand throttle working again. Thought it was disconnected or broken, Turned out to be clunged with gack. Liberal useage of WD40 and hey presto. Now I can set the idle revs anywhere between 650-3000 rpm.

I know it Jon :wink:

Well I just tax her online for another year...ouch :shock:

Hi All

Fitted a new UJ to the rear of the rear prop, took about 45 minutes after I got the prop off, no more squeaks from that area.

Was quotes various prices including £52.86 from one national parts supplier, my local high street supplier fitted me up with a Quinton Hasel unit part number QL16103 for £18.00. came with clips and fits a treat, down side is that it's a sealed for lift version (no grease nipple).

Tom, those LED lamps you have fitted to your Frontera, are they self adhesive or have you had to do some drilling? Cheers. David.

Ordered some new metal tyre valves for the new rims.

I kicked her and swore at her, then decided to sell her, so came on here and posted an advert'. Enough is enough already!!

Took the Picasso for an MOT and did an oil and filter change and thats about it :lol:

Painted another coat on the new plate that was welded to the drivers side sill. Dug out an old pair of headlamp protectors which, of a fashion, fit the Fronty and fitted them. With all the pot holes and associated gravel don't want to risk a cracked headlamp lens.

Put another new dent in Tessie today :lol:

Alternator belt snapped on me which meant no brakes (who's idea was it to fit the vacuum pump on the alternator?) :shock:

temp went up into the red and oil pressure went south :lol:

Will have a look at the true extent of damage tomorrow in day light

I put a few stickers on Beasty. All the same design. One on each lower corner of the rear window and one on the bonnet just above the Vauxhall badge.
