Milestone or millstone...

Muxley turned 180,000 miles on the way home last night



...& promptly told me he wanted a new timing belt...



I should explain that this was by way of lighting up the dash warning lamp, not throwing a piston through the side of the block!!!

 

[Paul]

Better crack on with it then

 

[spackrackman]

Is this an auto 180k light turn on affair or is it cleverer than that?

Is it an easy job to do on the drive Paul??

Aye, there's now an annoying orange light in the corner of the dash - out with the duct tape!!!

 

[Paul]

Not bad really but that was on a 24v.

The only issue with yours i think will be the height of the truck

 

[Gav Peter]

You saying I'm a short arse???

Off to look at the FSM>>>

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

Very easy job Gav, so long as you do it right

 

[Paul_Humphreys]

Mine in almost on the 200k mark. But it is in for its MOT. It is not going to be cheap!! Failed on number plate )stick on on the front, VOSA man was there). One rear capiler and the rubber supension bushes,
























































































ALL OF THEM, well it has a hard life!!!
Just no time to di it myself.

Oh thanks for those inspiring thoughts Master Wise Old Sage!!!

What could possibly go wrong...

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

What could possibly go wrong...

Not much, just don't let anyone stand too close when you start it up again

 

[Gav Peter]

someone stop that piston rolling down the hill please!!!

 

[adrianr]

Still got 5 good uns, itll be fine Gav.

 

[Gav Peter]

I'll have a stab at it at lunch time then Ade!!!

 

[adrianr]

Its easy (says he who watch Julian V do his!!) remember to press the reset on dash afterwards (theres another milometer hidden above the ne you see that fires the light every 60,000 miles.

Holler if you get stuck i can shoot over and give you a hand. ( Ill send you a pick later too of mine truck in a ditch yesterday )

 

[Gav Peter]

Nice one amigo. Hope el camino hasn't suffered in the ditch...

 

[adrianr]

Lost a mudflap

had to put my daft over sized Tirfor to work for the first time

all good though

 

[Gav Peter]

Seriously??? Two giga-tonne tirfor deployment... You must be on your knees buddy...

Glad no damage though bud

 

[adrianr]

Had help thankfully.

Made light work of it, well a lot of huffing and puffing and all that.

Most troublesome bit was persuading that daft 16mm cable back into its tyre is lives in.

It'll make you try harder to avoid having to use it next time!
