Mt trucks going on the garage to have the diff pinion oil seals changed, axle breather sorted and the fuel tank replaced on Monday so don't know of it'll be ready in time but I'll try my best to get there. I'm working near Colchester on the 19th and 20th as well... What does a club meet entail?

The meet is very informal, generally eat food, drink beer, talk bollox.

MOT in 1 hour.

My only concern is a hole in one sill and a rust patch on the other.

Mikey might be getting a little welding job soon.

A fair few jobs. It's running fine in general I use it pretty much every day so nothing that's stopping it from going!!

It has a bit of rust on the chassis, mainly just general surface stuff however it does have one whole in one of the front arms. This obviously needs doing, I also have a very rotten battery box. I purchased a new one thinking it would be a easy rivet job but I don't think I will manage so this needs doing.

I am getting fluid leaking from one of the rear hubs, I have changed the fluid and replaced the breathers which sorted most the other three wheel but still getting from one.
I am getting the oil light flashing after motorway runs, doesn't effect the way it drives but feels like something's not quiet right!

The speedo is not working I keep meaning to have a look at this and may get round to it tomorrow, not sure if the cable is turning and just come out of the back or of something more serious. I suspect it's come out the back and may need a new dial.

That's about it, I would love a lovely toasty heater but I don't think even the greatest engineer in the world is going to make that happen!!

Is that all that needs doing, think yourself lucky. If you can't find anyone I use a guy in Wickford who is spot on, honest and not mentally expensive, mines in on wednesday for its annual once over plus injector loom plus fuel pressure reg plus brakes and god knows what else. let me know if you want his No.

Tonym3 · Aug 19, 2014

Well I think that's all that needs doing!! I spent a fair bit last year having a service and the brakes overhauled, I would like to get it all sorted chassis wise before the winter kicks in.

Number for your man would be great

Thanks
