Got some rust holes fixed. :)
Took my troll to the mechanics to:
get the turbo gaskets and manifold gaskets changed,
major service
rotate tyres
sort out that front end wobble
change the gas struts in the bonnet and one side of the pod
Find the electrical leakage that is driving me crazy
Degrease the front end
That's my Christmas present to me. lol
Ok so it wasn't today but last week I did a service on Theo myself. Change oil and coolant, pulled all hoses off and degreased and cleaned them. Took of the intercooler and cleaned that out, took the radiator out, cleaned that, pressure tested it, found out where this certain oil leak was coming from, turned out I'm having blow-by from the crank case breather hose leakin oil into my turbo and intercooler so my plan is to get a longer hose to create a low point where the oil can pool up and put a T-piece with a cap on the bottom to drain very time I do an oil change. Pretty proud of myself considering I'm a first year heavy diesel mechanic and had NOTHING to do with cars previously (I was a computer technician/salesman)
Due to unforseen circumstances, some stuff was put off until later.Quote:

Had the auto sparky change my starter motor and change the ac compressor bearing, much cheaper than a new compressor, also installed new headlights from eBay, pretty good fit, just a very slight difference but they look good.

Never argue with an idiot, cos he'll bring you down to his level, then beat you with experience.
Pog mo th'oin.
Removed intake manifold to inpect and clean . Was concerned it may have been gunked up with crud cause when I done the catch can and egr block late last year , could see muck so it was time for peace of mind . throttle body was ordinary but manifold wasnt too bad . Good as new now , all clean . Santa arrives early this week for the final engine mod which I will fit during the week as I am on leave until the 7th of jan . Its a beaudesert exhaust 2.75 '' complete system . cant wait .
Painted the bullbar, and refitted it also finally installed the second battery tray now just need to wire it up and sort out why the indicators and park lights are not working on the bullbar now!
