WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

I will defo do a step by step next time as I know alot of people really dont fancy taking the dash out.

Its a very tight squeeze but glad I did it.

i dont keep breaking it when the lump game out i some how managed to pinch the pipe and it then leeked when it went back on. moved the pip down a bit so the clamp went over the tear to seal it and it was ok till i opend her up on the way back from picking my son up form a gig and it seems the additional pressure made the split worse so this morning i went out nd changed the pipe for another one of the many left overs from the spare engine i got to find 20 mile down the road the pipe had split the same. so bit the bullet and spent 4.50 on a metre of servo pipe from garage and then slapped in on with new jubille clips.

had to get my daugher out of bed to go to my hiuse collect the wife and gearbox filling kit out of the shed and wait for them to arrive.

half an hour latter back on the road.

the kids bring in the emergeny filling kit

the silly place they put the filler hole.

the fact the kids thought it funny dribbling atf down the pipe on to my hands

my responce

the weather was taking the mick as well it was coming in at an angle under the car and getting me

thought you were getting an oil change in the right lug :rotfl:

atf beer bong!!!

Emptied the shorty of all the junk and gave her a good clean and hoover ready for the For Sale piccys.

slapped another litre of atf and still need another litre going to pick some up tomorrow.

then tidied the tools and everything out of the boot had the good lady give it a hover an then proceeded to slap all the tools and junk back in to the correct bags so that the dog has some where to sit. :dance:

start making it a mess again tomorrow

Almost finished the rear crank seal yesterday on Hipo's B. all we have to do today (read this evening) is the last few bolts around the bell housing, slave cylinder, gear and 4wd stick, both props, starter motor, couple of heat shields, and the interior trim.

The crank seals on the X22DTH are a pain in the arris to fit. The normal way is to tap them in lightly with a hammer. This one if you hit it too hard it will just deform and break.

As for me I found a Mk.III Lotus edition bighorn in a scrappy and got a limited edition steering wheel centre boss.

After discovering h/gasket gone yesterday

, have today removed head to find it needs skimming as corroded patches between water ways , hope it's able to be skimmed as the corroded patches are pretty deep or I will be looking for another head :cry:

. All this the day before I'm away all week on a course with work , got to leave misses to take head to engineering shop :roll:

, hope to get head sorted while I'm away so can re-build next weekend

got my new waffle boards made and fitted as my plastic one broke

Today i fitted the landy springs to rear

and the light pods

New 12v socket in the back wired thru to the dash fuse box. Used the 15A fuse way for the heated seats/powered sun roof for it as neither of them are fitted to my 2.8.

reminds me need to sort the socket from hook up hanging off on the sport
