Also whilst it's off pull it out flip it over and tape up the joints

I did notice the joints as the tape peeling off but the tape is really expensive

Sounds like a job for this week may have to clear space in the workshop, that's if I can get this lock to work.

No, I not convinced it's the right key but the person I got it of did say it worked fine at one time. But before it was stored away it sat in the garden for a year.

Tried all that had the lock body sitting in degreaser for a day now but still no joy, have filled it with wd40 also the key goes in and out really easy now but still won't turn.

Have ordered a a lock with the same type of barrel was only £7 so not a bank breaker.

Nothing done to the truck as I'm stuck in derby for most of the week on a course but I've ordered the oil pressure gauge and a replacement standard pod for the dash and the plan is to mount the boost gauge and oil pressure in there own pods on top of the dash , next on the list is the clutch replacement , garage can do that one

I've taxed my truck, I always feel like I'm being incorrectly charged... I mean £140 for the year on a big diesel truck....

Where about in Derby are you @Rob1307? I have to admit there's not much here to do...

cleaned the top of the radiator to see if i can find where its leaking from, my mechanic said he suspects its a small split in the top bar where the tabs fold over.
