WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Just broke down on the M54 coming back from Wales aux belt snapped plus one of the pullies seased. So now waiting for the RAC.

Changed the lower ball joint and outer CV boot on both sides and re-greased every thing in site that needed it.

Think the ball joints needed doing as there was a couple of mm play in each one. No more squeaks now and oddly enough the knocking has stopped too... :lol:

today i decided to go to a carboot and i for a working pair of 8" spot lights for £2 :dance:

as well as a halfords pro breaker bar and scockets that was £10er the lot

and then when i got home i decided i would do a diff swap, god it was fun on my own untill fogman turned up at 6, and was a great help
so all i need to do now is put the drive sharft back in and i will have fully working 4wd :dance:

and then i have to bolt the bash plates on as well

Shear bolts are normal bolts that the hex head shears off when hitting a certain torque. The reason is to prevent people undoing them to nick your ignition barrel. He has replaced them with normal bolts to eliminate hassle in the future.

Whos gonna nick the ignition barrel Neal???? :lol:

But removing the barrell means you remove the steering lock and then all you need to do is pop the ignition switch out and start the car with a screwdriver!

Stear bolts prevent it being unbolted as Neal said, nought to do with crashing. more to with not getting your car half-inched! :wink:

Ok badly described. Either way the end result is the same. Cheers for clearing it up Greg :-D

just fitted my new reversing camera kit with 7" screen and then dug an s video lead so i can run my laptop through it just need to sort out a usb gps dongle and then i can use it for sat nav, dvds using the av1 option as the camera kicks in when in reverse on av2.

I drove mine home at a good 70mph from a fantastic North Wales laning weekend with a bunch of mentalists and some hens (the mentalists and hens where not in my car ) :lol:

i followed you, but broke the truck as it got close to home, bloody egr blank, will have to get that done,

sorry

Quick check-over, some air in the tyres and arranged for the new tyres to be fitted.

Not what ive done but more what im going to do when i get home from work. Go get me stiches out then take the battery off the truck and charge it up as i have'nt been in it for over a week now and there's not enough of the sparky stuff left init to turn it over!!!! :cry:

just sat watching the cow pooh water bake on nice and crusty in the sun :shock:

washed it, and fixed the egr blanking plate

Plugged the code reader in as I was getting an EML light on at the end of the days laning yesterday. All the codes told me the injection pump was fubared :roll:

Sprayed some contact cleaner on the multiplugs and now it's perfect again. :roll:
