A good day

Last night I was interrogated by the boss, we havent finished the bathroom as I spend too much time on the cars and playing. I reminded my dear wife that we were waiting for her to pick a shower for me to fit and intil that is done I was filling time.

So we were destined to spend the day trawling for a shower today.

As it happens someone seems to have forgotten

and spent most of the day with her neices doing hair and stuff :dance:

So today Ive washed and waxed both Fronties, done back pad change on the V6, bought a set of bucket seats from a chap of fleabay (Ta Fuddy) and even had a breif tidy up inside the Beast.

Damed good Saturday if you ask me, will need to spend more time on bathroom if its this productive :dance:

hi new to the site but sod the bathroom enjoy the frontera instead, it dont moan as much!!!!!

Bleedin' women 'eh Alex,and you were all psyched up to go shopping :lol:

I also had a good 'un, removed the glove compartment and installed my subs amp in its place because it was bound to get ruined where it was under the drivers seat. Then a 15 minute job which turned magically into a 2 hour swearing session :twisted:

I finally got around to replacing the p/s pump & alternator belt and after much cussing not being able to get the alty belt on, decided to go down to Halfrauds to buy one a size bigger.
Finds out that the 2.4 fronty used 2 different belts ( 70 or 90 amp alty) and I had previously bought the smaller one :cry:

That all sorted, I downed a lager, had an hours kip and logged on here :lol:

Magic 'eh

I replaced the bit of hose that goes from the intercooler bit ontop of the engine into the inlet manifold as it was leaking and loosing pressure so while I was doing that I thought I would bang an oil change in and let it drain, easy you might say

Hmmmmm

Went to put the sump plug back in to fill the oil, bugger :evil:

the threads where stripped :evil:

so frantic calls around the region and find one in Durbens vx in Southport so twenty five mins there then twenty five back, the whole thing turned into a bleedin marathon :roll:

Told her the car was sorted turned around and she buggered off to get the dog from the groomers in it, I dont even know how it runs :roll:

Good day, just ned to plot how to turn it into agood weekend....

Ive got that one sussed :wink:

Cost me a pub lunch today though :roll:

flippin women :lol:

hhmm, I will no dount find there is a hidden cost to my day,

hay guys dont tar us women with the same brush i love my fronty and no amount of diy would spoil my weekend fun :lol:

Hi Purfect, where do you go with your Frontie, somewhere muddy

any where babe the rougher the better!! looking for an off road trial got any suggestions willing to race any bloke who thinks he can drive!! see we all not the same. do you off road in yours i would love to get muddy

If you're bored tomorrow Alex, could always pop over and help me fit the new prop .... :lol:

any of you guys go offroading when you not stripping and repairing :wink:

If ya wanna come down next weekend I'm sure we can have a go. Take it your doing a front prop? have you got new prop bolts or did you get the old ones of in good enough shape?

The old ones are in good nick, and yeah it's the front prop.

Going to have a crack tomorrow - the actual prop isn't the problem ... getting the bash guard off around the transmission is the hard part ... :lol:

Not a tough job, sure you can do it, if not let me know. Just a bugger you need open spanners as ratchets and sockets dont fit.

princess,
Oh yes we nearly all enjoy a filthy day out, grennlanning is very pretty and a good social day out. Done some crackers with this lot and along with Weave hope to return the favour with a begginers day trip to the Longmynd in June.
Pay and play sites is the flip side, much messier, aggressive and just as social. If you dont already have one get a cb, then when youre out and about there is alot of banter to be had between cars. Mines been broken the last 2 times out and missed it, luckily I'm fixed.

alex & rob

thanks lads would love to come and throw fronty around maybe you could let me know how to get addresses or is there a seperate section for trial gossip and events. sure you dont mind a woman tagging along.

No probs m'dear, youre welcome wherever we go. Theres a good selection of midlands events around, Buildwas is on the cards and we should be doing Farley soon too.

As for lanes days, dont know what others have planned, but Weave and I are thinking end of June for longmynd. May sugest a Wales day before that.

Watch any sub forums for areas you feel are in easy reach of you , general events and greenlaning.

hi alex

nice to hear from you dont mind travelling to the midlands used to live there (solihull) maybe you would email me when you have any dates or locations or is that being to checky!
thanks for replying

Sure, we will pm you anything I thing you fancy. We dont mind anyone in a Frontera, even a few ex Frontera owners coming from anywhere. Were pretty easygoing up here.
