That's not a bad call. What do you reckon @MrGorsky? I guess you could just cut the bolts and drop the arms and then run them over to Brian's and change the bushes?

The press is over in Henton but i can pick it up as i have bits to do over there, if i had known the tool was in the box under the new dash i showed you:rolleyes:

We could meet in Henton. Not far from here. I'm guessing there might be some toys to see there?

Incidentally, I told MrGorsky you had given him some presents but he doesn't know what yet as he hasn't been up.
 
I think that's the one MrGorsky bought. Just about does 4 ball-joints if you are lucky. He bought the bigger £60 kit the first time and it got all 4 out and 3 in before it bent. He then gotbthe smaller £40 kit and it pushed the last one straight in (no freezer because I forgot to put it in). Means we have another 6 presses worth left if we're lucky.

It is too heavy to post but if you are coming past or someone else can courier I am sure he would lend it once we've done the radius arm bushes.
That’s very kind mate. Four people have offered to lend me a press but I’m reluctant as I’m sure it’s gonna get damaged in the process. Got this £50 one and was amazingly delivered yesterday if it survives the whole axle il be pleased. Only one leg is threaded It’s heavy but obviously of oriental origin I’m bound to mash it :oops:

That's looks like the same one I used, it's done 2 P38's and is still in good order. Lubricate the thread well before use.

Looks like the one we got. Probably from the same factory.
 
Having done the drive to and from Newcastle airport, we had to pick up our dog from my daughter in Bicester, in view of the petrol prices, I was amazed at people doing over 70 in some cases, it would seem that the price is not as much of a problem that as been reported, no, it wasn't in the RR, but in the T-Roc, which does about 48mpg, however, we had to fill up in Bicester ( Tesco ), they were queuing at the pumps £1.66 a ltr

Probably because the news went and said prices will rise by 10 to 15p a litre on Sunday, so people are freaking the **** out... again.
 
Its had a busy week towing cherry pickers and pulling trees down its actually just done so much the past few weeks so having a jolly today and its currently 21° aircons on sunshine roofs open, also picking up a new key fob for it as im fed up of mine,
I was planning on servicing the gearbox but i need too get a rear propshaft middle cv joint has a touch of play and they can't be changed,
Also want too get 4 new tyres before mot in 2 months time too,
 
Today I wafted the girls (wife, daughter, step daughter and grandchildren to lunch, the theatre (Chicago (the show not the city)) , later dropped them off at the Ed Sheeran concert and will be escorting them home later (without having to charge it)

Metaphorically. I still have the RR, but it needs a medically induced coma to fix some things. Our son loaned us the Tahoe in the interim.

Yes.

Well, yes, occasionally a backup car is required but how many vehicles are still on the road at these ages?!
