Picked up a taildoor to replace the rusty and disfunctional one in the terrano, also picked up another caliper to replace worn one.
Going to get off here and carry on with the birthday the terrano is getting lol

and the slowest gearbox rebuild in history continues.... its now back in after been put off by heavy rain turning the yard into a paddling pool. now to get it running and see if my clutch fix actually works.
putting the box in on your own is really slow going but the tie down method does work.

Picked up reconditioned injector pump at 3.30pm, home by 4pm, installed, timed, bled and out on a test run by 4.45 PM.
Love how the 300tdi is designed with ease of servicing in mind

lost a few horsepower this morning .....yep removed most of the stickers off my rear windows was looking a bit too boy racerish for my liking,shouldn't affect the neck snapping performance of my non turbo auto td42 too much,now to figure out how to change those things that wipe the rain off the windscreen might have to get the experts at superchump to do that, as it seems way too technamythalogical for me

Tried removing my oil filter from the terrano, but what a mission!
Its pushed up against the engine mount by the looks, i can get a filter wrench around the bottom but it wont budge at all.
dont want to rip it out just in case i cant get the other one back in.
Also just went to work to wash out a truck but hose is frozen solid.

Replaced the LHF ball joints on the Jeep. RH side was done last Sunday. Took 4 hours start to finish last Sunday as I hadn't done it before. Managed to do the left side in 3 hours. Not too bad a job. Went down and filled up with petrol, $2.199 per litre, that's .20c more expensive than last fill! Grrr. Jeep likes to drink too!

Wow, i think this is the 1st weekend I've achieved something since I started my new job Divorced the front axle from my trailer, test fitted new brake hubs and calipers, now to chop off the old caliper mounts and weld the new ones on. Still to do fit the new coupling and plumb the lines. Then I will finally have a functioning trailer and can take the bush truck out. (Havn't been keen enough to tow it without brakes on the trailer )

Went for a test play up Worsleys with a mate in his 80 series and "hosehustler" in the insane Hilux, did as well as could be expected without any breakages so all set for reefton next weekend. Didnt need a tow or snatch at any stage so im pretty pleased I know my limits well enough to avoid much trouble in reefton
Untill as we were leaving I decided to end the day by being a twat
Looks like a bit more than the tyres need a wash now

drove around the coastm got as far as the beer batch. the track is still pretty easy, but more exciting than normal and well worth the drive, plenty of seals out.
was disapointed to see the idiot in the green hilux let his female passanger throw rocks at one of the seals.

Had a club trip up Pukaka valley today, bit cold and snowy but heaps of mud and some slightly interesting track choices, but a bloody good day.
Slightly snowy lunch

P.s. Didn't manage to break to much either. BONUS
