Back in almost one piece both sides, track rod end done, drag link changed, sensors plugged in then ran out of oil for the diff :)

One ace actuator boot and about 250ml of gear oil away from being ready for an MOT. Frustrating to say the least - it'll be a 2hr round trip to do 20 mins work on it this week.

Haha I won't. Just impossible to tighten without the wheels on and some weight on 'em :D

Good lad!
R U going to do it the way a lot of us do?
i.e. long breaker bar, your own weight and a bit of maths?
As none of us can afford a torque wrench that expensive!!!;)
 
You could tighten it as is, by making a gizmo involving a long bar of some kind that uses the lug bolts and the ground.
But yep, using the wheels, the handbrake and either putting it in gear or in Park, will do, I've done all three I did like this.;)
 
Aye I did the maths as it happens :)

Booked it in and dropped it off for an MOT today, noticed when I got to the garage I've no coolant left lmao

Temp needle went a smidge over half way so it got me curious, when I looked it was empty. No idea where the leak is yet. Left it with them and mentioned there's a leak so if it's just a hose to just sort it out then test it. Fingers crossed it's not a new radiator and a relatively slow leak so I can get it muddy at the weekend :)

Crossed fingers for you, mate!
Re the nut, for once the fatter you are the easier it is! Me was at 88 kgs last time I did it.:D:D:D

Smidge over halfway is normal, it don't go up progressively, so I hear..:(
 
So I took it out for a play in the mud weekend before last and it blew me away with how capable it was. Didn't take many pictures - was having too much fun. Here's a still from the only video I got :D
