Re: Itīs back together, and it feels good

So today I ran in to some problems, I took the truck out of the workshop because it was in the way. I noticed a puddle of oil on the floor were it had been standing... oooh oooh!
Looks like my front seal has developed a leak, and a nasty one. didnīt lose a single drop of oil before, and now itīs running out as soon as the truck is warmed up
I have no time for this, 2 weeks until I have to be out of the workshop and tons of work to do. So I guess tomorrow I will have to shop around and see what it will cost to get it repaired. Damn.... I was so close to having it done

Re: Itīs back together, and it feels good

I finaly had the time to get this one registered and road approved. The truck sailed trough the MOT with flying colors, only remark I got was that I forgot to clamp the battery down
But that was an easy fix on spot with a tie down belt, and then the inspector was happy

Now I just have to wait for my plates to arrive in the mail box.
One thing I noticed while driving it today was that it bogs out going up hill, not all the time but once in a while I get a missfire and loose power. Any ideas what can cause this irregular behavior?
