About two years ago a new head was fitted under warranty for no real reason and therefore injectors must have been removed. Anyhow recently I had started to get a funny sound when cold. Almost a popping and a bit of a tick. Last night I removed the engine cover and nipped up the injector clamps to the correct torque. They went round about 1/2 a turn to 6nm then another 180 to finish. What a difference no popping and the tick has gone too.

Side steps removed. Off side was a bit rattly. This was the result when I took end caps off a drilled the rivets out of the step plates

I had a puncture a couple of weeks ago and checked the front drive members and they showed enough play to need replacing before ordering I thought I’d check the back. They need doing too. They were quite dry and dusty inside.

Replaced all four drive members along with new gaskets and bolts. Drives like a different truck. The clunk has gone and the movement on the handbrake is now minimal. Very happy spannerer. All coming off again in a week or so as when I was in there i put a mic on all four discs and they are below the limits. New discs, pads and pins on their way.

Oh yes.
Took some kids from work to see this in Liverpool today Click image to enlarge Then went to lrparts to pick up all the parts for my brakes. Don’t know what the kids found more impressive the QM2 or the rolling chassis in the lrparts showroom. |

Busy week. Dinitrol applied, side steps welded filled painted and tops reinstalled with rivnuts. Three corners with new brakes. Last one this morning then mud flaps back on and finished. Just a good wash required. Il post some pics when completed.

Best laid plans and all that. One hub nut got jammed. Needed a new nut, stub axel, seals etc. Total cost about £20. But now I have new brakes all round and good for a good few thousand miles.
