WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

Tightend Jay's steering box on the 2.8 on saturdy as the kind man came and sorted our computers. What is a 5 minute job on the 2.0ltr took a bloody hour on the 2.8 No bloody room to work!! Nail!!!! :thumbup:

Steve me and Tom went on saturday and not sunday :wink:

He has a dent to his rear quarter panel and cracked his fiberglass roof :lol:

That will teach us for playing in the woods :lol:

Which water run did you get stuck in?? do you have pics?? and more importantly is your truck ok??
We had a cracking day and did everything on the site :wink:

got a phone call off the garage to say they had found more to do on the truck so more money please thank you ta, now keep or sell as im totally fecked off i have already had to give one hobby up now it's looking like a seconds going bye bye fronty

Jesus Rob, are you kidding ? Why is a garage doing it anyway ?

Well my new upper inlet manifold and gasket arrived today. Been and fitted it tonight and the truck is running way smoother.

Have cleared the fault codes and no new ones have appeared so hopefully this will have fixed the hesitation problem and intermittent eml!!

Downside is the glow plug relay has died so have to get a new one of them.

It never ends!!

Still hoping for some better mpg now if it is fixed as been getting around 30 and was expecting more like 35/6 as on good roads to work.

Fingers crossed.

This fix is due to mel wakes giving me a hand and helping identify the issue and what part to buy (big thanks Mel). Top spirit of FOG. It does make me wonder if this is a serious problem on the later B's and we may see this more as the sensors and throttle spindles wear now they are getting older. Certainly something to look at on the y type diesel engine. An expensive bit but something to look at early on in the fault searching process.

Cheers

Si my road is non stop with cars but consideribng it's a cul de sac its busy and every time i went out it rained and with working on a bank just not doing it, but if after a pow wow with Audra tonight then i will know if it is staying in the family or thats me disowned from frontys,i have to think practical not silly trying to over strech myself i have already lost 1 hobby

What exactly is the garage doing to it Rob ?

Wots occuring Rob?

A mate of mine is with a land rover club and they had booked the site for the day :wink:

Glad your truck ok :wink:

Truck was more than ok. i humiliated a swb pajero which couldnt get up a hill when the fronty breezed up it graciously. poor pajero felt he had to keep trying and failed each time... miserably.

Class

Yeah Bala was hoofing. Me and Colley just zipped around and he even inspired me to have another shot at diff recker hill :twisted:

Then the clown talked me into having a go in the woods.... It's ok though as he'll now have to help me pickup my truck sooner rather than later :thumbup:

I did the 3 water ways as I have a snorkel just not the one on the left as even a fully sorted bob tailed rangerover needed winching out after he had a go.

Fitted new brake discs, pads and shoes, (Mintex), Changed all oils and engine oil filter, found gear oil in the transfer and gearbox!!! then a little bit of welding on the exhaust, next job adjust steering box and new air filter.

Nice one Rob :thumbup:

excellent news rob well done mate :wink:

Proper job. Well done mate. :dance:

Took the engine out of the 2.5 and plonked it on the drive
