That looks like an awesome fun day was had over the weekend.

Jai, did you suggest he was not trying hard enough? :)

Blimey Jamie, you're in the wars with your motor! What is it with you and stuck Bolts? Are you using big fu** off sockets with super sized impact drivers and bloody great club hammer or are you still using a vauxhall cavalier 3/8 socket set with a small pursuader? If you need extra kit I have a few bits and pieces that might be of use so just shout and I'll come down if I can be of use. In any case its sometimes less irritating when two fail then it is with just ones self!

Talking about failing... Jai came over this morning to help with the xfer box... completre failure, couldn't get them to mate together and ended up naffing the input seal completely! Gonna have a retry with all the gearbox mounts stripped off the gearbox and chassis out of the way (thanks Kai).

OK Onward... ever upward

no been a bit naughty and spent money i shouldnt have on tools, im useing all the 1/2 sockets i got (not many but most need are there), i got a 3ft breaker bar, i bort an electric impact driver and a welder, im not to far away now, wen i got that pulley and damper off its only the cambelt itself then back together again, noticed another problem, the waterpump bolt didnt actually undo, the caseing split where the bolt goes and released the presure.

It amazes me that people buy a kited mota or build a mota without any idea of how to use it. A woman at work has a fully rebuilt extremely tidy V8 90 on a galv chassis built by her husband. Anyways she came to work in the snow in Feb in her Rav 4 because it is permanant 4WD. I just slapped my head against the nearest wall.

She came in last week with her Rav 4 screaming I said good morning and we heared you a mile off all that squeeling. She said yea thats diesels for you. Has the world gone mad? Mabe its just me! Jai
 
Jamie, I would replace the casing If I were you. Its a pain but easier now than waiting a few months and stripping the lot again. Jai

no the bolt is out but only because the case split, studying the bolt there are no thread marks on 75% of the bolt so where the case cracked it was just letting it slide out not unoing off the thread.
 
Damn!!! Looks like I missed out on some good fun. I'm looking forward to getting filthed up :D (not sexual) not yet anyway.

i cant afford to replace the caseing, i mean the caseing behind the cam cover and everything, could i not have the crack welded and thap a bigger thread.
 
Possibly but would need to be removed I would think before it could be professionally repoaired. mabe bodged wioth some kind of chemical metal stuff but thats not exactly perfect aye Jai
 
Well I will have the CB installed en sh'allah' (god willing). Thats what I have been doing for the last day or so making a neatish accesory for the mud dash so the Cb doesn't fall out every time I go up a steep hill. Jai
 
Oh and fitting an interior lamp how can a poxy interior lamp take 3 hours to install??

I'll tell ya cos I'm a fuzzy Arse and wanted the wiring uprated. Plus its a TD5 headlining and mines an old C reg so much faffing about cutting new holes for the lamp, shimming the light assembly off the roof and using it to keep up the headling up aswell as running a spare interior light feed to another rear Lamp that is yet to be installed. Well I will try and get the mota sorted For Sunday but no promises. Will post on here If I am going Saturday Evening Jai
 
Jai I will definetely be there. Be good to say hi. Need to replace all 4 brake shoes before then, but im there :cool:

Carpy, its lucky I didn't come in the end because my brakes are shot. They will be fine for Sunday though.
Also how come you are selling the C2? Are you going to use the landy as your daily driver?

Well my original plans for Whaddon have been confused a little since Rose invited some friends for Sunday lunch. Much depends on whether they accept!
