Found an incorrectly seated rear donut.  :-[


Better now though  :y ;D
needs geo now  :D

Standard white chalk and white string, no more. ::)

your learning at last 8)

In other words, removing donuts does not affect set up. For others reading.

Bigchicken is the oof troll. Ignore everything he says. :y

Forgot to say, last weekend I actually managed to wheelspin the Battlebus in the pissing rain.  I've been trying for months, and first time I've managed it ;D
So the performance issue isn't a mechanical one, simply that it needs new tyres as the slicks are too sticky in the dry, and not sticky enough in the drizzle ;D
Being a no name budget tyre that is awful for grip in the dry, and fun in the wet, I should be able to wheelspin this tinker anywhere, anytime

Fitted new condenser  :y
Fitted new pipe from matrix to HBV to bypass Aux pump ready for LPG vapouriser  :y (Although I had to call with Daz for guidance as I wasn't pulling the connector off the matrix with enough force - you can never hit your own car hard enough!)
Fitted old radiator back as new one isn't for a 3.2/2.6 (I know, I shouldn't have thought I could make the oil cooler fit - upshot is that despite taking the sensors out and smearing them with grey sealant and using the aux pump to replace the original one the thing still leaks.  :'(

Suppose i'll have to buy a full price VX one now.  :-[

And dismantle it all again

Oh and the level sensor has failed in the expansion tank after too forceful cleaning.  :'(

Better go and earn some more money now so I can buy more parts.....  ::)

Swapped the cover for the sunroof over to stop it rattling, and stuck some double sided tape on the back of the red tags in the door pins... To stop them rattling. ::)

There's a few more rattling things in there somewhere to sort but I can't find them. Bloody East Ham has a lot to answer for.

Clarkson is wrong btw. You absolutely do need a 4x4 in London. Worse than any mountain pass. :o
