    This weekend I decided to change the ball joints and axle seals. I used Delphi ball joints and NAK seals. All went well once I modified the tools 🤣 The mega heat wasn't nice though!! So happy they are finally done. The old ones were buggered. Also stripped and painted my disk shields...

    So yesterday I fitted a new bush, doughnut and bolts to my rear propshaft. Used a quality GKN and was happy to find that was what was fitted too. As you can see the old one was getting a bit worn.

    Been busy preparing my LPG reinstallation! Originally it was a right bodge job from the past. Terrible fitting of the tanks. So I've got some new tanks, brackets and everything else. Popped into work today and welded some long bolts to the new brackets so I can fit the tank and both brackets in...

    So I noticed a a bit of pink coolant on my oil filter and my new panhard rod. Upon inspection I found the water pump to be the culprit. This was probably the only this I didn't change when doing the engine. The previous owner said it wasn't very old and looked great so I left it. The cost was...
