Still waiting for the delivery of my new wheels and tyres .....
Click to expand...

Now fitted :D

I'm delighted with the ebaY purchase: brand new OEM steel wheels and Michelin Latitudes for a pretty good 'secondhand' price :) . I also think they look more as nature intended, but I suspect I'm alone in this :rolleyes:

So I've returned my Landy to a more stock spec that better suits my usage for the foreseeable future. Sigh ...

I'll probably sell the four removed steel wheels and Goodrich T/As in due course - a bargain for somebody as the tyres are hardy worn at all. Watch this space :)
 
signwrote the sides of my landy, fitted some replacement front LED warning lights, filled it up with fuel and then got paid to drive it.:)

No Chance.

I gave the panel measurements to the assistant manager at work and went to give him the size of the writing. He told me not to worry they'll sort it without the font size.
The bloody signs are HUGE. They fill the whole window blanks.:doh::doh::doh: They're that big they are bigger than the bonnet signs on our MAN TGA twin deck transporter.:eek:

Finally managed to align the flying pigs with the blue moon....and got the beast to the MOT station at a time that it could be tested! :D
Failed :mad:
But only on one wheel bearing...and the drop arm, so.....:cheer2:

So...tackled the wheel bearing this evening - and hit a snag. The bearing fits the stub axle when tried on its own...but when fitted to the hub, I cannot for the life of me get it to slide on to the stub axle. Is there a secret to this? or just keep trying til it goes?


Also lived up to the old adage : give blood...work on your landy! :D
