Just a quick service at the weekend... Oil & Filter (10-40 semi from asda castrol ) & Fuel filter filled with redex injector cleaner before re-fitting...

Bringing it home

Just finished doing the oils and filter service,quite easy when you get stuck into it.Haven't done much with cars so this is an achievement for me,so pat myself on the back and gave myself a GOOD BOY STICKER

Well done AD
I've done feck all for ages with a list as long as my arm which is annoying me so the truck is going to Kirton as it is except I'll really try and get the winch wired. :-(

Now the proud owner of two rear bfg Ats shiny and new.......bloody hell, they parked it next to a shogun SWB with 285x70x16's on. Looked awesome......£360 inc vat was a bit of a fright tbh.

Nothing, cos I nodded off on the sofa and now its raining.

Tomorrow got a small stone chip I want to touch in, and a camel cut on the front bumper as my spacered wheels rub a touch on full lock.

Changed prop shaft centre bearing and reused packers from old one. Fitted new shackles and bushes as old ones were knackered,
changed transfer oil and fitted a new towbar, also tightened up steering box as had a bit of play in the steering wheel, and redone rocker cover gasket as leak from half moon seal.

A good day at the office then

This week so far have tried to adjust the rear hatch on the sjs cover/hardtop still not quite right it still doesnt shut without a little help and seems to stick on one side when opening, also changed sidelights for some 20led sidelights and fitted a cable to rear of radio for an aux in which mounted by tje rear window switch which was surprisingly quite an effort as the thread of the 3.5mm jack is half the depth of the plastic

Fitted the bumper I purchased of rab
And gave it another jet wash to try and get they clay off it

Wrote it off....

no

Jeez

Yup.so beast two is in the offing....

Well at least ya got a decent donor truck ,trying to put a positive spin on it.
Are you going the exoskeleton route on the next one if you are and using 2inch scaffold tube get the old stuff it's cheaper(building site)
It's thicker gauge than the new stuff but a wee bit heavier

Pressure washed the underneath yesterday! I think I brought half of Kirton back to Scotland with me! Finished cleaning it today and buffed a few scratches out! Next task is to move the towbar electrics onto the bodywork......

Wise move with the electrics
Don't forget the non return valve for ya caravan bud

Gave the l200 some loving yesterday, full service with the kit from milners. Also thanks to some info on here I managed to tighten my front wheel bearings. Has improved it massively but still getting a slight wobble through the steering so will replace the idler next

Parked it up. Gonna cycle to work for a few days.

Oil change as its done 5000 miles since the head was replaced.
Also fitted new alternator as the rectifier was on its way out.
Was still only giving a 14.32v charge

I snow foamed and pressure washed 2 tons of Kirton mud off mine today
not actually got round to emptying the back seats out of all the junk yet, but there is still plenty of room in the back for passengers as @StevieV will confirm

Just looked at it...

I too just looked at mine and thought fecking state of that it looks fucked what have you done lol
