richardthestag Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Welcome back.I'm curious about the track rod boot, surely it's just a generic one they bought for less than a fiver probably, the expensive bit is getting The Pope to type out the invoice Lacquer Peel, 11001010 and brownnova 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felly Magic Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Welcome back XT, sadly a short while back we lost forum member 'oldford' to his cancer, an all round top bloke. Going to miss his dry humour taxi paul and M'coli 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat_the_cat Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Good to see you back! I had worried you had bought it so resorted to Facebook stalking to see if you were still with us. And even that was proving inconclusive so good to hear from you 'in the flesh'... xtriple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Welcome back.I'm curious about the track rod end boot, surely it's just a generic one they bought for less than a fiver It probably is, they just charge Bentley prices. Apparently it was in a really bad place so an utter ballache to fit and required a few other bits shifting to get at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panhard65 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 When I had my spirit the ball joint dust covers were silly money, but I bought a bag of assorted boots and it had 4 in that were perfect for less than a tenner the lot. Talking of Rolls Royce's I have my old Shadow back in for a brake fluid leak. One of the height adjuster valves is leaking, £20 for a bag of O rings they know the art of ripping people off. The good news is values are really picking up now so at least any money spent on these old buses will come back if you ever sell. xtriple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Panhard, parts prices are effin' ridiculous for these things - I wish you could just nip to the factors and get a few bits, but you can't! Glad to hear values are coming up, about time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
