WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

i will stick picture up tomorrow of the swb .Washing it showed up more rust on the body :shock:

and showed a flipping glass chip on front windscreen :crying:

Today i spent afternoon evening building the garage tent sure took ages. I have just to stick some paving stones down this will be the swb troops new home for a while. Means now i can strip it down an get the grinders/wire brushes in :excited:

Not the greatest taken at dusk

Hmm ... the dust did cover some of the rust. Does look better though now you can see it

Just bought some 15/40 oil from asda for the upcoming oil change :wink:

Took it on a site visit round Hullavington Airfield and found an old low concrete wall/edge of a hardstanding while going thru a wee bit of mud. Lucky I was only doing about 5mph, front wheels did as advertised and went straight over it, truck then dropped and landed on the gearbox bash plate with a wee bit of a bang...

Now need a new bash plate. This one is err bashed and in one place is only about 5mm away from the end of the gearbox output shaft casing (the bit pete had lol). A close call me thinks....

today i got another package arive on my work bench

and it had one of these in it

aslo dropped the bottom bolt out of the rear diff to see what the oil was like and nothing game out lol time for a refill

yes when you lay under from the back where plug is to fill the rear diff up with oil, undid the bottom bolt as this is the one that is meant to be the drain plug and then the two either side and nothign came out so just got to find the ratchet that fits in and see if it needs topping up lol

Considering its wire rope I would of thought a roller fairlead would be better.

well syn rope is next on the list
and i wasnt going to use it untill i hve thesyn rope on

just very happy of the look. looks alot better irl

started to strip bits off to do the head gaskit

. Tomorrow night i will do a little more as i'm doing it out in the street after work :roll:

At least it is getting lighter in the evenings for longer. Makes those post work jobs easier.

New seal arrived today

but I wont get a chance to fit it until monday after work...thumbs up for lighter evenings!! :thumbup:

so fudge...keep your phone on monday evening incase I get it stuck down some side road in Cambridge ahaha

PS. any1 know off hand what size the crank pully bolt is?? 24mm springs to mind.

note to self turn phone off when i go to sleep monday night

but if you need a hand dan just say and i will pop over.
and im hopeing to have my winch fitted then so fancy some laneing, need to test the winch out

after a 5 mile walk for new plugs and another sensor i found out a mile from my house when my 02 sensor got a bit to warm that my car wont run on either petrol or gas if one of the them is being a bugger. wouldn't mind i had sourced some 4 wire universal ones for under £20 a piece in Nottingham and was on my way to fetch them when it died just my luck lately its sort of been running right enough for me to bolt the front back on drop it off the stands and take it for a spin.

so had to give my friends in orange for a tow home :dance:

got to admit the little guy that came out must of thought i was joking when i said the hill to my house is about 1-8 slope and my tank on the back of his little van sat in neutral was hilarious i could smell the poor sods clutch from mine as he crawled the last 20 feet round over the top of the hill and the corner. but he did a cracking job even if he couldn't get it started going to have to take a trip down there tomorrow to fetch them as getting p0138 bank 1 sensor 1 error which was a pain in the haris but while i had him out i got him to hook his ox of tricks up and check the maf and throttle positions sensors and any others he could check with the engine not running and everything else was working. just the 02 sensor not voltage not dropping to close the circuit.
