Is the axel a big job to do? Would like to stop it howling on the motorway when i over take!

[wronghole]

It's not that difficult but feckin heavy,two man job , axles stands trolley jack away you go. If you're not far from halifax there's an diff repair place that the members on here use and recomend not sure if they replace the oily bits in situ.

@wronghole where did you get the orange ford badges from for the steering wheel and front grill I like them

[wronghole]

Mate, as far as l am aware they are not available anymore because Ford stopped everybody from making and or selling em . Something to do with copyright infringement. I can't remember the actual site but if you Google wheel center gels / stickers you might find something. All l know is now they are as rare as rockinghorse shite

Yep, got a 57 plate MK7.

Its got some ply racking in the back from a Vivaro, a floodlight above the back door and snow tyres on the back.

On 165,000 miles, trusty daily workhorse.

[wronghole]

Nice one mate. Whats with the snow tyres?

[t2myd]

This is mine the day after I bought it ive still not touched the outside as im waiting for my DAS-6 polisher to arrive should be here this week
The roof rack and pipe tubes will be sold as I have no need for them
The axle im running on is a 3.31 which im doing 70mph at 2000rpm

Looking good mark mark how's the sport kit ? Tommy

[markspark71]

Its all in the shed waiting to be fitted I picked a full front bumper up today foc it has some damage on it but I willjust put it on so I can fit the kit to my bumper im thinking of using tiger seal unless im advised of another good product, im also thinking of using expanding foam to fill the gaps in the kit behind the bumper

Yet to do that one, however l do three alarm systems .one is the rac fitted gemel, a secondary system which incorporates anti tilt and perimeter monitoring. And one for the spare wheel. Anyone touches it I'll know

[markspark71]

The gemel one on mine does work but it don't seem very loud

[wronghole]

Thats one of the reasons why I've fitted secondary systems. Even winds the windows up automatically if l forget. Basically if you open a door or smash a window all hell breaks loose and l get text alerts

[markspark71]

What make is the alarm ??
