No, but my mate across the road does :wink:

but.... it was useless on any of the undoing bits, even after I had loosened the nuts with a bar and socket first :roll: and after I had wire brushed and oiled all the bolt threads, the nuts screwed on easily by hand, so I didn't even use it putting things back together :lol:


That looks like the lightweight cheaty gun...

Did a super Mario bros on the crappy heater pipe.

Copper is better than rubber near the oil filler isn't it

Top rad hose now has a drip once the system warms up.

I'll have a look on eBay for a new one

I've got some new ones if you get stuck (ebay may be cheaper though)

Replaced nearside front wheel bearing. With any luck I'll get chance to get a few hundred miles on it before driving to Germany for Chrimble.

Hose of dubious parentage arrived today.

Tbh it looks a tight fit.

Shouldn't have ordered so quickly and asked if either Matt or Chug had 1 lurking in their spares dept

Got around today by wrapping the pipe in duct tape,checking water level often and running the system in pressurised.

I bought Transit 2007 rear axle a Dana in the hope that the gear ratio is 1: 3.31, but have not received it from the shipping company yet. Here is a photo of the signs on the gear gear.

I have long wanted to install a faster axle instead of 1: 4.56.

I'm going to modify the axle for my car.
There are descriptions of such a modification on the Russian Internet.

Hi guys, who knows if 43 and 13 represent the number of teeth on the gear and on the shank, or am I wrong again when buying the rear axle?
To install this axle on my car, I will need to adapt both the axle to the car and the car to the axle. I read that it will be necessary to shorten the propeller shaft by 8 cm.

Can assume 13 teeth on the pinion And 43 on the crown wheel?

Fitted new radiator hose today.

It was a very tight fit,so I had to use some water based lubrication to ease it on
