What shocks you using, I’ve had terrafirma but not impressed with them.

I’ve been looking at the old man emu shocks at gwyn Lewis but there recommend for heavier vehicles so probably to firm for my truck cab 90. He’s got some pedders ones from Australia but I’ve googled them and they’ve poor reviews. Probably ring him tomorrow for a chat.

Ordered the OME shocks from Gwyn on Monday afternoon, Recieved Tuesday Morning, Fittted this morning, they went on so much easier than the TF rubbish.

This is after 2 minutes of compressing all 4 of the TF +5" shocks. Under a year on the vehicle and thinking about it, due to CV19 only about 1200 Miles.

I guess 1 almost working right out of the 4 of them is pretty good going :eek::eek::oops::rolleyes:

Put some air in the tyre before I drove it.
Onto the weighbridge 1.2t ballast in the back.
Washer pump failed so fixed with what I could find,so later 300/td5 1 fitted after making electric plug to suit.
Blockage on the washer pipes that wrap round the hot water pipes. Removed pipe & will replace with larger bore at a later date.

reposition washer jets

Then have a sedate drive & enjoy life
 
I thought I had better fit the new headlights I bought in February! They old ones both got cracked on the last outing and I haven't driven the old girl since.
The MOT ran out and I worked through lockdown so now I am taking the time to get her ready for winter as I will have to go to the office more.
 
In an effort to rectify a long overdue oil leak under the 110 I replaced the Front timing cover inner gasket (see below). The one I replaced was in bits. This job is a pretty involved one to be honest... replaced all timing case seals, rocker cover gasket & inlet/exhaust gasket whilst I was at it. Still found another leak on the drive this eve however....:confused:. I swear, stopping this thing from leaking is near impossible.

bonnet clip.JPG I finally got around to fitting the heavy duty bonnet stay after moving the spare wheel there a few weeks back. Of course, the new stay and retaining clip did not match - even though the part numbers seemed correct. The clip looks like it's for a stay with a diameter of around 5mm, whereas the new stay must be 15mm across. Heating and trying to bend the plastic clip resulted in a mess, no loss as I was sent a bag of 10! Time for a bodge - I mean engineered solution. I just happened to have a couple of bulldog clips sitting in front of the computer, and with a little bit of fettling I have a result I'm very happy with.
 
Failed my control technique ( French MOT) and made a big order to paddocks.

Fixed a few of the issues - like sticking the pointless middle seat back in as the paperwork says 3 seats. And riveted the number plate on as apparently bolts are an automatic fail !

Trying to decide if I should cut out and replace the rear cross member myself, or take it to a professional who welds better...

I am surprised by the riveting of the licence plate, as I had to change one in 2001 and that required rivets at that time. However I only found out when I was told that I had been driving for 6 months with an illegal plate as the car was from another area of France.

Bit of a bump for the fred.
Got back from a 140Km round trip today and noticed one of the tyres was down on pressure to about 14psi, no idea why, leaky valve perhaps, just need to keep an eye on it.
Also just had notification from Paddocks that the steering box I sent back as exchange has been damaged - presumably in transit - and therefore not refurb' able, and so no exchange money for me.:mad::mad::mad: cost me €60 bleedin postage.
