LALALALALALA Not listening.....

[lord lucan]

hehe yeh I could not hide it on there.... lol

It is ace just needs a few things doing...
A really big service for a start,
going get the cambelt done this week,
a seal here and there,
Replace the front ball joints,
Put the new wind deflectors on,
Change a brake caliper,

and when stood in front of the traffic light in Drive it judders/ bounces a little not sure what that is about...
and finally when turning off a little clonk is heard...

But nothing a days work can't sort I am sure...
the power is great....
with the 3" bore exhaust sounds great too...

overall done about 150 miles in it today and cant really fault it, drives superb....

very chuffed....

oh yeah and a snorkel put on soon...... lol
a real one no mushroom this time...

nice truck, dont forget the big end shells im sure you have read up on it, timing belt takes about 15 mins, most of the uk ones had the three lockers very rare on the imports keep switching them in every so often as they tend to stick as for the shaky tickover my last one had that i tried everything to cure it but couldnt i thought it might be the touque converter in the end let us know how you get on

Thanks for the advice on the lockers...
I think they will get plenty of use tho where I am planning to take the truck...

Hi Toby it should tick over at 750rpm you could damage the auto box with the rev,s to high on selecting "D" and "R".
