Rob Cee's transit - start of makeover

[robbie.cee]

Any modifications to the steering invalidates your insurance and is a MOT Fail....

So is any non-pas transit that has had pas rack etc fitted to make power steering now an insurance and mot fail?

Seems a bit harsh if its all safe and proper???

What's the coup there cap'n?

So the guy from ebay called today... Seems delivery company SOHO are useless Tossers...
Not only didn't card when he allegedly delivered, didn't bother calling his depot to drip at one near by so my pump is in maidstone at the min
Hopefully re delivery will have a different driver...

Useless C***s worse than my company!


might have working pas next week but prob not LOL

All you can do is laugh really eh? Ffs

Some of the 'courier companies' give the rest a bad name.
An American friend living in Germany, asked if he could have a Sky box delivered to my house (he paid everything)
So come the allotted day (a Friday) I waited in all day, no box.
Monday & he called the couriers, they delivered Friday & had a signature ! Who's ?, unreadable, so send me a copy !
Suddenly they didn't have a signature...... (you will love this),the driver rang the doorbell got no answer, so he left it in the rubbish bin !
They obviously think people are as stupid as their drivers/staff are ! I don't doubt the driver sussed what it was and sold it.

Hopefully it will arrive next week... Least the seller called yesterday!

Not got much planned for today so in gonna try to get the other manifold from the scimiter cut up andfitted today... Should make for a nice quiet drive!
Also be good to not have stinky hot gasses gettin sucked back into carb too so I guess will run better too!

Best of luck...amazed how mine was different just being tightened up again!

[robbie.cee]

its been ages since i last drove the van, think it was at last meet... good few months ago now ! actually excited to see how she drives firing on all 6 with no leaking headers... the spiders that have took up residency under the bonnet wont be too happy tho!

cant wait til we move so i got somewhere better to work on the van, only a few weeks now!!
























and if any one wants to remind me this aint friggin twitter or face book, kindly F**k off!

[robbie.cee]

So today is the day, has the delivery man been with my pas pump and my new set of Essex v6
Exhaust studs n nuts?

Will find out in a few hours !

[robbie.cee]

well royal mail pulled thru - exhaust studs n nuts/washers arrived along with a missed delivery note from apc so i now gotta get to rayleigh tomo befor work, tad out of the way but i guess at least the pump is now in Essex!...



on the upside, now i can seal up the o/s manifold completely! and have spares!

[jonochap]

Phew! Good luck in the bandit country that is Rayleigh!

[robbie.cee]

yeah i just googled it its other side of road from euro car parts and macdonalds!

be good to get the steering sorted but fek knows when ill get to fit it all together, possibly once moved, only a few weeks now. crapping it now!

At last, i have the pump it's quite a lump but not excessively heavy or big. starter motor sized(ish), will sit nicely on the shelf below the second battery allowing me to keep (possibly,not decided yet-got one on pump too) the existing reservoir... try to keep it looking standard unless you look closer.

the wires are bloody thick, guessing 40/50A at least. I'll over-rate the new wires i'll have to run and use a big-ass relay to turn it on or off via a switch (possibly foot switch). I'll also use some sort of warning lamp in cab somewhere to show if its in use or not so i dont flatten battery in certain situations...

So thats my next wee job , got some cable im sure but will need to look into heavy duty relay....

Make sure you take the feed for the switch from an ignition controlled live Robbie
