tooSavvy Posted January 31, 2024 Author Posted January 31, 2024 Having gone 12,000 miles on my tyres, I think I'll swap F to B. I have a long handbrake (should self adj) so plan is:- All nuts cracked off. Rear up onto axle stands/drums off/adjust for wear. Lift front, one side, on TJ, remove wheel and swap to back. Repeat. Should get 2.4.1 👍🛠️ 🚙💨 crad and privatewire 2

tooSavvy Posted February 7, 2024 Author Posted February 7, 2024 Yes, great visit.... Anyone who lives in a place, with a lounge big enough the build the Colditz Glider, gets all my admiration. Took a shoot thru, from yours.... To Alston. Across and a hard right (scenic route) down to Haltwhistle. Took the back road out of Hw >> straight up to the Military Rd. Great day, SWMBO is looking forward to the first lambs..... A true pleasure MonAmi 🚙💨 loserone, egg and privatewire 2 1

tooSavvy Posted February 12, 2024 Author Posted February 12, 2024 I have been experiencing that 'mild judder', when tailing off the gas in 5th to see the road is clear and then squeezing the gas on again - with no massive drop in speed! I'm aware of labouring in a high gear but this is unpredictable/most times but a new thing.... Since I bought it.... I'm plumping for 18yr old 'cooked' leads 🤔 Plugs were new 1st service I bought it 👍 🚙💨 egg and privatewire 2
tooSavvy Posted February 13, 2024 Author Posted February 13, 2024 #🤬#🤬#🤬..🙀🔥🙀..... W.. T.. actual.. F!.. My driver's side front caliper started smoking just earlier this afternoon 😯🙄 ..... Am I Cursed 😵💫 Well, f#ck it.... I'm getting the 'oily spanner' onto this >>> part ordered 🛠️😎 He can swap the wheels round & pull up the handbrake while he's at it... 🚙💨 loserone and egg 2
tooSavvy Posted February 13, 2024 Author Posted February 13, 2024 Booked in..... Get it round the corner @07:30 Saturday... He will hit the rear first and assess wearing in the shoes/order parts. 🛠️😉 ... 😎 🚙💨 egg and privatewire 2
tooSavvy Posted February 15, 2024 Author Posted February 15, 2024 You may recall I bemoaned the lack of a Temp gauge = Idiot Light 😕 Idly riffling through images/eBay sales of 'my' engine, I was heartened to discover images of the heater stubs >> with the little 'bleed off' stubs to loop around the TB. These pipes are always HOT, even with the heater flaps closed off..... I am setting out to get the 'sensor bulb' wrapped onto that little stub, then wired through the bulkhead to the digital display. .....

tooSavvy Posted February 17, 2024 Author Posted February 17, 2024 Having *saved a couple of quid this morning... I'm tempted to splash out on a Starter 😯 It spins fine, cranks up in 2secs BUT goes "skagarrkahhahha" for a second after firing up.... Always, every time I start up 🤨 It's the solenoid pull in type so I'm unsure whether it's worth effing about [up ramp, take off, stare at it, put it back on, off ramp] OR do the whole thing + replace 🤔 I'm currently weighing up eBay smokers.... 🚙💨 privatewire 1

No Spendy Here 😉👍 🚙💨 Saw one of those abandoned the other day locally. Try your nearest main road esso/BP, by the car wash or tyre pump, always loads dumped at our big esso on a main road 👌 I need a new oil can, I've lost both stoppers for it and did kick it over during winter and got oil fucking everywhere in the garden, it's still a bit lethal to walk down the path now but no ones slipped yet 🤞It also seems I did a stupid and emptied it into my 1l of oil sitting in the bottle rather than the empty bottle I'd saved for the job, so have no top up oil currently. Good job it doesn't use any tooSavvy 1
