Slight mishap when the old rear section fell off 😂 Neither the time nor the cash for Demand so a Britpart 3" special but made a new tip. Fit up is terrible btw. The hangers needed a fair bit of manipulation so it wouldnt rub.. Probably wont be the Final iteration of the Exhaust but thats...

Nice! Mines a little damp. Weep from the rear diff but wont be bothering as itll be changed soon enough. TX box has a slight weep on the output shaft, I will get to that one!

MOT Passed! 0 Advisories 😆

Also definitely needs a cut and polish!

Week later aircon is still ice cold! 😄 so very happy with my choice to DIY. Then noticed the water drain pipe for the AC is well, missing. So its just dripping into the footwell, easy fix tho! MOT tomorrow so few pre MOT checks, nothing dramatic, but did have an exhaust leaking due to a...

So changed the seals on the AC Condenser as I know they where not great. Followed the instructions on the kit and hey presto, 10mins later ice cold AC. Colder infact than ive ever had! I expect thats down to the much larger Condenser though. Think i used maybe half the bottle. Should have...

It has a gauge that measures the pressure, I also have a bottle of 134a. Friend of mine has been using the ACPro kits for years never had an issue. My AC hasnt been gassed in a couple years but has had a new condenser, compressor is known to work. The "leak seal" was a secondary purchase...

As the weather is warming up I thought id look at getting the AC Regassed. As everything the price has gone up, £90 now, was £50 last year! So Halfords. AC Pro kit, leak seal & AC cleaner for less than £100 does 3 cars. So much better value and no ballache of booking it in.

So quick look over to check the suspension has all settled... It was fine on Sunday i swear 🤣 Sadly my favourite company GORE no longer trade and Pioneer4x4 have a silly lead time. So in a very unlike me move OEM it is. £147 later. Utterly ridiculous for some awful cast ali!? The GORE...

Busy boy! Need to do my rear calipers and discs at some point soon but not very soon 🤣

Nothing tricky about it, though could be worth getting a new slave cylinder if you havnt recently. Be very careful not to pull the pushrod out.

Some comparison pics Exact same springs and dampers. CSW DCPU Standard CSW

Forgot I did these! Stainless door threshes, designed, cut and folded by yours truly. If anyone would like a set more than happy to do a run, be cheaper than anyone else online. Can even provide fixings. 2mm brushed stainless, secured with carraige bolts using the original fixing holes.

Busy day. Dampers, springs, turrets, retainers, spring clamps all fitted! When shockingly 😅 smoothly. All done in about 6 hours. Serviced it as well. Shock turrets drawn, laser cut, CNC bent and Mig welded by me :D Also fitted the RRC spring isolators on the front and the rubber wrap...

Ok. Not had a compressor overheat message at all like you normally would. Wonder if its one of the airlines split somewhere. Also if there was a leak would the whole thing sit flat or would that explain why the front was always at ride heigh but the rear was sagging?
