Breaking it!

 

I started wiring in a thermocouple that I fitted in the transmission sump of my p38 diesel.

I have a digital temperature readout, hidden behind the dash panel.

 

Continuing my search for exterior accessories... I am bidding on a roof rack and brush guard!

I have the original brush guard that I will be removing from mine if you want it. It is weathered and needs some TLC, but it is free.

 

hopefully reinstalling the engine ive been rebuilding over the past month! no promises though...

 

Oil seal on the front half shaft... I'd rather not be though!

 

Nice post - I'm perfecting my aftermarket stereo install - I took the stock Clarion trim panel and fitted a custom cutout so it would be flush and as close to stock. I hate the two side panel aftermarket look. Its great having Pandora radio and hand free BT calling on long rides.

 

I leave it for wife. I take Volvo instead of Range to get my work as Volvo had small hiccup. It is priceless if car stops or refuses to start when lady is driving... :naughty: Once again, old trusty Range is our lifeboat. It just goes.
:dance:

 

Lefthand high beam has blown so replacing both with night breakers.

 

And adding a new Heater Core / Audi Heater Core Swap. I'm tired of the stupid o-rings leaking.

I installed the Audi heater core last weekend, finsihed all the plumbing and drove the rig to test - No more drips. This weekend its replace the passenger blend motor and re-install all the trim and parts to officially finish the job.

The other P38 needs some "EAS love" so saving that treat for Sunday!

Finished up this morning; no more book symbol and adjustable heat for the passenger.

 

Letting it (and me) get some deserved rest after the ~3000km trip the past two weeks. And after that probably try to get the LPG running right...

 

It will take me more time to post this than what I have planned. Replacing bulb in right foglight - anyone impressed?

 

Just organizing a garage get together with my buddies Toyota sequoia. I will be installing a new diff in the front of the Toyota with an ARB. We blew up the stock on a snow wheeling trip a couple weeks ago.

If I get time I will take my tailgate switch apart and figure out why it keeps sticking.

 

Detailing. It's dusty And adjusting my **** sunroof.

 

Serious wash job. Snow, ice, leaf much, sand, mud and I am pretty sure there is a branch or two stuck in things on the underside. Of course the inside isn;t much better with dog snot on the windows and piles of pine needles.

 

Picking up some new taller springs for an extra couple inches. Will be curious to see how high they will sit as they are made for a disco. Just put on new shocks yesterday.

 

Nothing this weekend as I'm working... Next weekend however.. hopefully getting my nanocom off DHL and testing it (its been away for a holiday to Cyprus)

Then I have 4 new air springs, 4 new shocks, steering damper, idler pulleys, belt and tensioner to install. Transmission fluid and filter, transfer case fluid, and possibly top of block - expansion tank hose replacement.. if I get that far, then.new hose clamps that don't loosen after a few months on the Audi heater core...

That's the plan/ hope... Might just be air springs and shocks if the pins are rusted solid!

 

This weekend change No 4 injector cos engine keep cutting out but guess what that did not solve it :-( Then under the car to try and work out why above 60 mph the car shakes, i could not find anything worn... my promblems continue!!!!!!!

 

Inplace of my factory Homelink system went a pull handle.

Since my rearview was bleeding anyway:

Homelink, auto dim, and a compass.

 

Re-fitting mk3 wheels and window switchpack. First switchpack of 2013! 2012 cost me 3 of them. My lady is no longer allowed to drink coffee/soda in the car...
This week I get my headliner replaced too.. Very excited to have the car completely finished off by next weekend, well, apart from whatever fails during the week, and of course the cruise control which I'm sick of fixing..

 

sent with the crappy autoguide app

 

Rebuilt EAS system, installed Arnott Gen III's, and changed the oil on the milk wagon, then cleaned and waxed her all up. Taking a break from the Callaway this weekend.

 

Tested the 4x4 after replacing the passenger side axle shaft up front - happy to report that the 4x4 system in these vehicles is as legendary as I'd imagined

 

Some pictures of this weekend.

I'm almost done. I had to drive the BMW today because I had a small electrical short in my wiring for my lights. (non-OEM) stuff. Good thing I had a Circuit breaker in there.

 

This week:
Engine Oil changes all around
General fluids check and renew windshield wipers
Check/change diff oil
Check/grease u-joints
Renew front wheel well liner fasteners (lost to unfamiliar mechanic and replaced with useless caterpillar type)
Perform self tapping screw mod on sticking vent distribution housing
... and the part I'm looking forward to the most...

Mount new sneakers for the Romp! `)

 

Treadwright? I've had mine for 2 years now. 50K miles. Great tire for the money.

 

Yes, Treadwright's they are. Awesome! I'm excited to hear that!
