A couple of days ago my turbo started sounding like an old kettle coming to the boil. The truck (kzn130) still pulled just fine with no smoke.
Split hose I thought. I'll investigate Saturday I thought..
Anyway yesterday the noise changed from a whistle to a loud tractor diesel chugging. Today having a look the exhaust has torn away from the flexi pipe part.
The down pipe still looks fine so I'll replace the last 3 sections as the box and the rear section are both rusty. Looked on line and approx £180 for the 3 sections.. Bugger.
I then decided to look at my rear wiper that had stopped working. After poping the plastic off around the motor and undoing the 10mm nut the pulling the wiper off it was obvious that the problem was the plastic ball joint on the arm from the wiper motor to the spindle. Prized it off, filled with grease and the mech is all working again.
Sanded and resprayed the rusty wiper arm so will refit tomorrow.
