No problem mate. Glad to help. The clutch was a pain and I am certain it's in there but we wont know till you refill the fluid.

Be happy to blag a few passenger rides when it's done. :)
 
Things are comming along then chris, even tho you forgot you had lost a small bit of rubber, lol.

What a morning Matt and I had done one bearing no problem, went to do the drivers side, and not only was the hub bearings shaged but the swivel berings where shaged, the sivel was full of oil conatinmated greasey grinding paste, took it all apart back to the axle, and the Sivel was badly marked as well, so just waiting for Matt to get replacements, then I'll help him put it back together.

Had a sod of a job doing my new tow bar as well, lol.
 
Well rad, intercooler and oil cooler are back in, coolant hoses attached, throttle cable on, engine and gearbox mounts tightened, handbrake fitted and all wiring finished.
Leaves re-fitting front suspension, bleeding clutch and brake system, filling engine and transfer box with oil and filling the coolant system and PAS up on Sunday.

You didn't tell everyone about my saggie maggies :eek: :eek: :eek:

Need some new springs that is..... drivers side has sagged. Still, it's a reason to get a lift done :D
 
The dog guard is coming along nicely. Just needs a few more welds on in the morning then it'll be blasted and ready for paint :)

More could be said for the bearings o/s front though :mad:
 
Well got the rad in, filled up all fluilds, checked and re-checked all wires, hoses and bolts and had a go and getting it running.
Kept turning over but wouldn't fire. After checking the fuel system it would appear the injector pump isn't working, which is a right chunt as the engine started when it was in the other truck. Also for some reason I'm getting no power to the glow plugs.
Gonna try and make a retaining plate that means I can remove the pump without effecting the engine timing as I'm not taking the fan and rad back off again.
If I can then I will put my old pump on and that should be enough to get it running again, then I can look into why the glow plugs arn't getting power.

Not happy, wanted to have this done today so I could MOT it on tuesday.

Sorry to hear things aren't going well :( It'll get there in the end. Did you get any **** in it when you put it back together??
