Other what have u done on ur disco today

It’s not the getting wheel off it’s putting it back on that I find the heavy bit.

I made a couple of these for the P38 to aid M if she ever had too and I will probably use them to.



Couple of old wheel nuts a piece of pipe a lathe and a MiG and an afternoon in the man cave

You can actually buy for the P38 but where’s the fun in that. Got to make up a couple for the L322 next.
Wouldn’t be surprised if something similar not available for the disco,

Yep oil is cheaper than a gearbox or an engine

I'd take your good time with those wheels they weigh a fair bit and you don't wanna pull ya back out again!

Same for the gearbox do it slowly, no need to rush

Thks so much , indeed ur right ref cost of engine and gearbox

Last time I went to do the ATF oil I was carried away on a stretcher , as I twisted and back totally went , oh the embarrassment

Indeed ref the wheels , think actually u can get a locator pin, also wondering if I can find some 4x2 inch wood so can use a fulcrum/ lever to get them back on , placing the wood on the floor and long length of timber under the tyre

This drives me insane as I never useto have to worry like this , bugger

Like the bar

@Shimsteriom

Have u heard there’s suppose to be a curfew thurs on 4x4s so not allowed on the road for at least a week , snigger

I'm glad I'm not picking up my new car in the next few days.

They might as well just resign themselves to the fact that they'll have to wait several more days before they can collect their new pride and joy.

Ha nothing will stop me getting the 'ole beast home

Already bought a Gallon of chassis black and some Kurust and Zinc primer etc etc etc etc

As we all get older we realise **** is heavy and the need to work smart.

You can basically locate the wheel on the long 1 while it’s on the ground, so then only have to lift/lever the wheel up to get on the short 1.

I assume your talking about the light. It was a Lidil special wish I had got 2 now, works great over the bench. But as always none left next time we went in

After a while of lifting them up chest level on ramps you soon get used to it

'Tis why mechanics don't need to go to the Gym lolz

That and leaning over bonnets all day, when you get older you will feel it.

I have always had a physical type job and used to say to the guys if you have the energy/need to go to the gym you have not been working hard enough
