Unlike the disco which seems to have had most things bodged in its 23 years

That I will, 8am and I'll be on it!

Finally got my brakes to work only been fooked for 3months no more breaking 1/2 a mile away lol.

Gearbox and clutch in......now what to do as I didn't bring my welder as its raining.......

May start to king cab it by removing the tub and cutting the bulkhead out

Changed clutch fluid,old stuff was black and was slightly reluctant to disengage sometimes,got tempted to rip out radio in anticipation of replacing it,(with one that works).Then lost interest so went in for tea an cake.

EGR delete this morning. Tried to find a persistant oil leak which appears to be from top of oil filter !! Now getting cold so indoors for 6 nations.

Absolutely sweet **** all

All that research and thinking I finally understood this tyre stuff was a total waste of time.

Apparently I got it wrong and I cant have what I want

Seriously p***** off

Stood at the window and looked at it, can't go out and work on the engine in this rain without the risk of filling the engine with water

Just got a free fairey or delorto overdrive I think


gonna clean the crud off it later and find the makers mark but its a big one took me half a glass of blood and 4 hours to take out but worth it

cleaned up Flywheel off BB's old 200tdi injun, & dressed the teeth as they is a bit worn
fitted flywheel to injun.
fitted noo spigot bush.
Fitted noo clutch
Fitted noo HD clutch fork and the fooking Pushrod, retaining clip snapped while I was fitting it fooking crap Britpart.
tried to refit gearbox. fooker wouldn't close up. Took it back out and discovered the friction plate had slipped
Realigned clutch with state of the art, long reach socket and insulating tape.
refitted gearbox and it went staright in.. Yeah
Fitted noo Slave cylinder. & bled clutch. all done and dusted Hopefully
