Wheel bearing arrived in the post today so cracked on with that ball joint nut was a complete nightmare removed the new sensor
after taking the hub to the engineering place got that fitted come back refitted all to find that the abs light still on used hawkeye to find no power to sensor so disconnected it all tested by hand resistance and NOTHING not squat so had to order a new sensor

Yesterday, had the windscreen replaced due to mahusive crack. Turns out it was the factory fitted screen which has lasted 11 years! It's the only part of the car which hasn't been taken apart and put back on (wrongly) by the previous owner! :violent:
Fitted recon VCU from Bell Engineering....feels a lot better now it's not in Mondo mode...doesn't get stuck in mud any more, even though there's a very slight off-balance vibration (not enough to worry about). Put it back together exactly as it came apart, so must have been wrong to start with. Might try playing tomorrow, but not that worried as it's not too bad even at 70mph
Got the luvverly job of getting the old bearings off the old VCU tomorrow before sending it back.
Next job....sunroof (that's gonna be expensive methinks....it's completely knackered looking at the seized rails on it)
I WILL have the whole car working all at the same time

Cold chisel and hammer and they will fly off.

Well today i have the pleasure of replacing all the steel brake pipes with nice new copper ones as the steel ones have seen better days. Saying that they have lasted 12 years

I gave the fuel pressure sensor a going over with WD40 and changed the long vacuum hose that runs from the turbo actuator solenoid to the reservoir as I noticed that was well past it's best. I re-routed it slightly at the reservoir which should hopefully prolong it's life.
All was going well until I dropped the screw that holds the plastic inlet on, but all was well after a frantic search with a torch and telescopic magnetic probe!

Fitted a new touch screen radio. There is a lot of wires involved even though there where no wire cutting involved. Thinking of getting a wireless rear camera for it now.

Fitted a reversing camera in my horsebox and monitor in the hippo to key an eye on her. Used a wireless system from ebay £40 but a crap reception so moved back to wired, excellent quality image. Wired straight into horsebox electrics to get a constant feed
