[QUOTE="gvee, post: 487535, member: 14750"] Funny buggers :lol: 1, 8 and 19 done today! Sorted the camber and ground a little bit off the lower trailing arms for extra clearance and this appears to have resolved the grinding noise on the passenger side (which turned out to be the ballpoint cutting a grove in the disk). Also reset the tracking as best as possible. Not bashing the servo now. Am still able to get a little tyre squeal on full lock though where it contacts one of the beam bolts. Any ideas? Think I now know what causes the sliding door to catch and should be an easy fix. Might try get that done tomorrow. Okay, so didn't fit a circlip but did use some welding wire. It is so strange having the bus tell me what speed it is going instead of relying on GPS! Very happy that my bus will start actually recording mileage on the odometer now :mrgreen: Unfortunately got a couple of things to add to the list (isn't that always the way): 22. Bash pan for the pedals has lived up to its name and is starting to disappear. Going to pull it off, cut, weld and reinforce it. 23. Cable conduit underneath is perishing if and needs replacing 24. New clutch cable (think this one is on its last legs and is just stretching out) Overall a good day and the bus was such fun to drive even if it was only 8 miles... 4 of which are actually on the I odometer 8) :lol: [/QUOTE]
