Truck serviced last weekend, i put some Lucas Oil Stabilizer in as the truck has now done 101K.
K&N Filter washed out and re oiled.

This morning we waxoyled the truck again, used the ramp at my mates garage so 2hrs and all done.
I power washed her off at work mid week so she was clean and dry.

Ready for MOT in 2 weeks time.

Now got a 2013 Barbarian 33.000 Miles, 2 owners as it was a Mitzi Demo vehicle.

They are shit, and very over priced.
Scary on roundabouts in the wet, especially for L200s that don't carry weight, or don't have Traction Control.
Not too bad on New shapes really, as the extra power is reduced by TC cutting in and saving the day.

Will wait till April, Hot jet wash it at work, rub any rust with a wire brush then give it a couple of thick coats.
My mate who owns the MOT station says I can use one of the ramps and compressor so not a big job.
Far easier than on ramps at home on my back lol

#116 by 123hotchef , Sat Jan 02, 2016 9:40 am

try the 3m stuff when u do it much better imo than waxoil

#117 by Ollie , Sat Jan 02, 2016 11:06 am

I use the stuff what they use on buses chassis coz it's in the stores lol

#118 by Nick , Sat Jan 02, 2016 11:08 am

What ever I use its got to be clear, don't want the black shit all over my chassis

#119 by Ollie , Sat Jan 02, 2016 11:11 am

Is the clear stuff not really expensive

#120 by Nick , Sat Jan 02, 2016 11:27 am

Clear Waxoyl is about £25 for 5ltrs
Used it on the 2006 Warrior, it had 3 coats in 3 years,

Greased prop shaft UJs yesterday and cleaned the MAF sensor.
A guy on the OC Facebook page was selling a brand new remote for the Kenwood unit £25 so I snapped it up.
