[QUOTE="gvee, post: 624043, member: 14750"] I really should remember to take photos of things. For now you'll just have to take my word for it :D Been busy the last few evenings after work. Dropped the engine out, gave it a service and fitted some new heat exchangers as the existing ones were pretty shot (note to self: remember to cable tie them open again so you actually get heat in the cab). New battery in, too, because the old one was goosed. Engine back in and running but still sounds a bit tappety on the side of 3&4. Not sure what to do as I literally just [re-]set the gaps... :? Replaced the manky carpet in the back with some lino, new tailgate seal, jailbars fitted, dash tidy sorted, and probably a few other little bits I can't recall right now. Tonight I will be replacing the accelerator linkage (massive shout out to Si @ ButtysBits for being legendary as always! 8) ) and taking it for a very quick spin just to get it up to temperature.
