todays exploits started at 8am
loaded the car with tools enought to strip a 306 went to a local metal dealer that has a Ph1 and Ph3 sat up for spares
scrappy didnt open till 830
wanted an early start.
any way the Ph3 has everything i need but the guy wouldnt let me touch it cause its in a field and the evirement agency dont like him breaking away from his yard.
it had 18mm hubs and wishbones confirmed this by measuring the ball joint.
he wouldnt move this car so ive given him my phone number when he does and im in there!
so back to my m8s garage to the bianca nothing on the ramp so got the car on to check out the ball joints/hubs for ovals
16mm hubs and joints and the play is in the joint only........
so on the phone
2x 16mm balljoints
2x front brake hose
1x front wheel bearing
ordered!
in the mean time i went through the rest of the list
o/s side repeater to dark with a coating (swapped for the estate)
n/s side repeater to dark with a coating (swapped for the estate)
o/s indicator showing white not orange (new orange lamp)
rear numberplate lamp (cleaned terminals)
then my m8 asked why i wernt stripping the front end down
so by 1pm when i left for work i had
replaced both ball joints removed the O/s hub
reasembled the N/s
things left were
press in the bearing refit hub
remove fit 2x brake hoses
as of 6pm the car was done thanks to friends who i owe a beer or two
unfortunatly the MOT station was closed so no retest
the story continues.....................................
