Why oh why does everything go wrong for me ? Just before i parted cash for the TANK aka Frontera i checked it all over and everything looked fine. Today ive gave it a good going over to find the brake pipes, exhaust hanger, o/s/f drop link and o/s/f cv rubber needs replacing for the MOT and thats booked for next week. So i thought it will be fine so i sorted the brake pipes, welded the exhaust hanger and went to order the drop link and rubber to find the guys i use dont have them in stock till monday  . Im gutted as i will be at work till late all next week so will not have the time to sort them so im going to have to pull out of the mot and be on the bus untill i get it sorted Rolling in my TANK

If they will fit there's a o/s/f drop link and o/s/f cv rubber for a 2.8TD sat here in Carterton Oxfordshire you can borrow, just need to come and get them.
If you order up yours next week for delivery here I'm off work for the next two weeks so am in no real rush to do my truck.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered  ) Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left hereWork in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'Truck'Comments on 'Truck' the truck may be left hereOwning a 2.8 is a hobby in it's self...

Thanks snapper for your offer but its ok now. Sorry not been on the net for the last few days and ive just seen the replys. Anyway abit of a update i had the tank in the garage today to be sorted ( i didnt have the time ) and the good news is they are now done. The BAD news is they said when doing the work the abs sensor snapped so im now in need of a new one. Been ringing around today and ive have silly prices said so ive put a wanted post up so if your reading this and have a front drivers side abs sensor for a 3.2 then please let me know
