Pressure tested the AC last week with UV dye and the condenser looks like an 80s pop star that had been shot with a shotgun. Holes everywhere. New condenser fitted today, regass, evaporated temp down to 1°. Now we'll have 6 months of rain and cold.

I are on the road of togetherness. The other swivel got demolished so the spare i got to replace the moog on the other side is trying to go on. Unfortunately the bolt holes don't line up, but i have a file. Job for tomorrow

Wasn't he told to stick with a P38 :rolleyes: :rolleyes: 😁

I was thinking of the thing you call a car.

setting fire to myself would certainly be a distraction!

Petrol and matches would end your misery

i find it helps to rant about something, then when i read it back, it makes be grumpy and i turn a different shade of green

i do my best

@kermit_rr the way this saga is going you're get this thread to 42000 in no time !!

given up with the ball joint.. its snot coming out. going to take the whole thing off and whack it

Not used the 38 for 8 days I think as i needed a work horse as i had a house roof replacement to do so used the 110. Battery flat on the 38 this morning so that's on charge and decided to fit the new genuine tailgate seal. The difference in soft...

replacing the front control arm, the straight one with the height sensor on, the ball joint is dead.. that wont come out either did manage to persevere with getting the CV/axle out tho! thats definitely a 2 person job. might be easier on the...

Check the brake switch using Nanocom. No need to drive around for this. Here's my Wabco-C but the brake switch wiring is the same. Switch-1 should be normally closed, and open when the pedal is pressed. Switch-2 closes when pressing the...

i wasnt planning to as theres nobody round here who can do alignment once the hub is moved :D but if i haveto, i have to.. i can get it ballpark ok

So, if your going to pull the whole unit off anyway.. You can have the Cv head pressed out and save the unit then👍

Thank you Mark

If @roger01 wants to pm me I have a Hawkeye V5 that reads turbo boost I carry with me. The nanocom I use is kept at the yard

Probably safer than a journey into Rotherham.

You can buy second hand units for £50 🤔

So you can give it a bit of stick. If in doubt, pull the whole hub off and get pressed out👍

Knew I had copied the idea from some one. Thanks Keith 👍

As above, 7S trailer wiring, I have a solar panel connected via the trailer socket when parked to keep the battery topped up.

+1 mine has it . I used it to couple a solar charger to as there is a permanent live to it.

Trailer wiring at a guess,

@Rubberknees might have one in Rotherham but obviously you'll have to wear your stab-vest.

If i had kids

Have you tried sacrificing the kids to the gods? Win in both cases......

Check the small pipe that goes from the top of the rad to the expansion tank👍 The cap on the expansion tank can give up as well but then the coolant would run towards the bulkhead🤔

ok, the problem is solved for the time being. unfortunately I didn't proceed systematically. what I did: - pulled out all fuses (including those in the engine compartment) - checked - all fuses were good - treated with contact spray - Checked the...
