Fitted egr plate, needle and Dawes valve. Also an intercooler that's been welded up to replace my leaking one. Just wanted to say a very big thank you to Mudski you are a champion.
Fix it for ya Paule...:thumbup:
It wasn't a problem at all bud, you supplied the 24 bottles of neck oil so I was a happy camper...Happy to do it. It was good timing really... No time lately to even breath and you got me just in between breath's. Lol. Was great to meet another member.
As for me. I fitted new rear sway bar extension links. Luckily for me I didn't need to cut them as I simply removed the already fitted extended brackets on the chassis. But will need to put them back in when I get a new suspension.
I fitted my new???? rear diff guard??? Long story how I got one but looks trick!!
Also swapped out my oxygen sensor with a new one and had to adjust idle.. car actually seems to be running better (not sure if this is so)

Kinda cheating when you have work lights everywhere built in.
Waiting for seals to arrive, working out bumpstops for my new tires 285/75's. Its probally on in last week or so of lots of research I'm starting to get my head around the suspension side. I brought a full 4 inch kit and have been happy as a pig in shit with it till I stumbled across what bottoming shocks out can do. So now I'm setting it up to suit the 285's then i can start working out where I can go from there I don't want to go any higher but more travel would be lovely.
Rotated the four Silverstone AT tyres after balancing the ones going on the front. Damn things just won't wear out but figured the fronts needed another re-balance as the steering wheel indicated from 80 to 110 km on the M1 that they were not 100% in balance yessterday. Exciting stuff but what the hey life's like that some times!
Cheers

PS can one install 16'' wheels on a GQ and which ones are the way to go and is the range of tyres (more HT that AT type) much better in the 16" wheel size?
