New one to me that valve coming off like that so a little loctite will go on this time.

Seems I caught that follower just in time to looking at other posts on it.

After seeing your follower I have just been to my local TPS and got a new one, will change it later once the rain stops.Did you replace the seal on the pump aswel or was it ok?

I've still not done it, I'll do it new year week now. Seal looks ok but I'll change it anyway just to be sure

Good to see you still have this and that your starting to give it some love again

Only to get it mobile and to tidy it up as it'll be up for sale before long dude.

Boooo lol

And there was me thinking you was going to carry on with the project.

It'll be sorn'd for at least another couple of months while I tidy it up.

More interested in the 4x4 now so the vrs has taken a back seat, once it's back up and running I'll let the Mrs decide what she wants to do with it.

We'll if the 4x4 floats your boat then why not

Waiting on parts to put it back together I decided to do the wheels a more sellable colour ready for when the time comes later in the year.

Once it's back together and the tyres have been changed i'll get the rest done and get it booked in for the tailgate to be painted.

Looks good with all black rims

Parts still not turned up so managed to get 2 wheels done and tidied the tailgate till I can get it in the paint shop.

Parts arrived so it's mobile again, 2 tyres to sort and 2 wheels left to paint and it'll be good to go.

Looking good. Wheels look a million times better all black.

Even quite like the dusty paintwork, lol!

I never thought I'd hear myself say it but I do like the black wheels.

I was planning on washing it but as soon as I moved it outside it chucked it down with rain lol

How does your bonnet release work with the grill si? On pics it doesn't look like there's a bit cut out.

I've bent the handle so instead of popping out the grill it's at a 90 degree angle. I'll pop a pic up when photobucket stops acting up
