It was about 8.30pm.. probably getting bored and wanted to feel important for a while and tell people they have to go on an hour's diversionThey probably did it to prevent a Rufford ford scenario.

Followed your advice, took longer to get the tools out than it did to change the things. Gunned off the bolts, ARB dropped down, new bushes, bish bash bosh.when i did mine it was on high with stands under chassis wheels still on ground and all was easy to do, if you have trouble drop one of the drop links off fit the bushes then redo the drop link.
Did you use rubber bushes or poly?Followed your advice, took longer to get the tools out than it did to change the things. Gunned off the bolts, ARB dropped down, new bushes, bish bash bosh.
Nice one glad it went wellFollowed your advice, took longer to get the tools out than it did to change the things. Gunned off the bolts, ARB dropped down, new bushes, bish bash bosh.
OK, so after 2 weeks in hospital, they finally decided that although I'm not fixed, I am not in any danger so they decided that I shouldn't be taking up a bed. I told them this a week ago but hey ho.
Still no idea what the problem is but thankfully it does seem to be slowly clearing up by itself.
During checking they found an enlarged node in my chest and took a biopsy yesterday so hoping to god its not cancer.
That all said, onto things more RR related.
Went to the unit today as I wanted to put it inside to dry it out for a few days as its soggy on the passenger side. Pretty sure sunroof drains are blocked so that's a job for when I'm fit. Some recommend strimmer cord, others suggest compressed air. Anyone got any insight?
Also, front end was on bump stops and battery was totally dead. (there are two new bags for the rear but not the front I think grrr)
Battery is pretty new by the looks of it so my guess is that one of the reasons for sale is parasitic drain.
That said, jump leads on it for 5 minutes off the pickup and it fired up clean as a whistle.
She's inside now fully opened up until she's dry then hopefully I'll be fit enough to tackle all the jobs.
Demonstrates why you should drive very slowly on flooded roads.Missus drove through a flooded road and "noticed a grinding noise after a few miles so stopped in case she knackered the engine". I don't know what she hit in that flood but the tyre is FUBAR'ed and I fear for the rim. That's an AT tyre too.

Is the pump making good pressure?fitted the rebuilt valve block pump running all the time
has been rebuilt in the past, but that was going to be the next to be looked at now at least it comes off its bump stopsIs the pump making good pressure?
