General Discussion Area / Project TB2 - Update 14

« on: 11 August 2007, 21:19:36 »

Been a while since last proper update.

The new gearbox fitted in June started playing up shortly after fitting, but has now been replaced with the stronger AR35.

The failed A/C has been regassed, and was working well.

Front bumper clip replaced, bumper replaced, and did stay on nicely until today, when it through its screw out.

Chip fitted

Proper wheels fitted, rears now have good tread, fronts a little low. The vibration I had with the incorrect Hyundai wheels has gone.

Been using day to day, uses about as much coolant as it does diesel due to overpressurising.


Currently, stripping down engine bay ready for engine swap, as fairly certain head is cracked. Hope to replace engine next weekend, assuming I can get enough volunteers to help

Yes, that electric Arc Furnace I must be running somewhere in the house. How else could my electric bill be £100 per month

General Discussion Area / Help needed tomorrow - Sat!

« on: 10 August 2007, 12:12:45 »

Plans changed again. We are going to attempt this again tomorrow!

Please, any extra hands will be truely appreciated, even if not too mechanically minded.

Unfortunately, we definately will not have time to look at other cars, purely this engine swap. We really will be pushed for time, esp as not expecting to get the engine back to mine before midday ish.

General Discussion Area / Anyone got a spare LTO drive

« on: 10 August 2007, 12:06:50 »

Anyone got a spare high capacity tape drive going cheap?

As you may be aware, the old server which hosts OOF (amongst lots of other stuff) is being replaced.  The tape drive is on its last legs, and was only a DLT anyway, so didn't have the capacity.

If you know of a cheap LTO, and/or LTO tapes, please let me know.  I am keep eye on ebay already.

General Discussion Area / Help required this Saturday

« on: 08 August 2007, 19:14:19 »

Omegatoy and I are going to attempt an engine change on the tractor this Saturday.  However, as it looks like we may need to remove engine from one car to put in mine, a couple of extra pairs of hands would be very, very welcome.

Anyone fancy helping with an engine change then?

General Discussion Area / Sorry

« on: 09 August 2007, 20:36:38 »

about the glitch about an hour ago.  I think it was a hardware failure on the server, I suspect its no long of this world

General Discussion Area / Thanks to MDTM

« on: 04 August 2007, 21:16:37 »

For taking the time today, despite having (or at least should have had) a decent hangover, to do a couple of little jobs I was having trouble with on tractor.

Bumper stays on now

We are definately losing coolant somewhere, and its not appearing to leak

And the mod you made has improved economy significantly on way home (which I did in 1hr 5m, and yet average consumption was increasing all the time).

Thank you
