@ Stropp are you going to cage in the fridge to make better use of the space.
No cheap but a great idea that's for sure
Ok, I didn't look much when I got home as it was dark and now I'm not near it BUT dad dropped in a piece of rubber he found in his drive after I visited. I know it's a long shot but does this look familiar to anyone? And also could that be the source of the clunks? It looks to me like it could be from the radius arms??Quote:

With the sub tank pump not working and a full sub tank, I decided to get a little fuel pump 2-3 litres per minute and empty out the sub tank.
Although I only got empty half the fuel tank.
The hose was quite difficult to feed down to the sub tank with so many twists and turns.
In the end I couldn't get down from the fuel cap so I opened the plastic guard from under the rear wheel arch and opened the fuel line and managed to get the hose all the way in from there.
Finally got the Catchcan in but I think the bonnet is just resting on it. Don't think I will bother moving though as not pushing it up. Stereo going in next month, thank god.
no td i wont need to do that yet as i have the twin floor setup instead of the rear seats.Quote:

Today was power steering belt, new coax and aerial for the two way and wiring up the interior lights to work as one. Now I've just got to figure out how and where I'm going to put my led strip to add to the interior lighting and I'll be set.
Removed dead aux battery, another one gone! WTF is going on less than 18 months old. past 4 years went through 3x aux batteries 2x isolators, rewired entire dual batteries installation and still can get more than 18 months out of the aux battery.
Cheers
Sorry, crappy pic, it was only about a 50mm diameter.Quote:

How thick is it? To me it looks like a body mount rubber. Radius arm rubbers are mushroom shaped, shocker rubbers, hmm maybe, but body mounts can get really squashed like that looks like. Can't think of anything in the rear of your car that would use a mount like that. Thats a hard one mate.Quote:

Do it look like this lucas? Plus the rear radius rubbers don't rotate. Unless the marks are from a washer that was behind it.Quote:

Nah not a boot. But yeah I started hearing a clunk and I think I felt it on the floor a few times... Hopefully that's it.Quote:

Oil and filter time in the TD42..wishing I could get one of those oil drip trays I have seen on forums, but was not too messy.
New shocks and springs this weekend..still can't believe it was so hard to get some 2" lifted coils for the shorty lol guess a month to get them is not too bad
Attachment 45716Installed the new superior bash plate, had to drill 3 bolts out and empty a heap of sand and crap out of the bottom radiator brace. I suggest everyone check there brace and clean it out.
Had a "Water Watch" system installed.
What does that do?Quote:
