oh and MOT.

 

[LOONEY]

how much for the exhausts?

 

[paulob1]

she failed the MOT on the ball joints they have gone already....I used std units from Ford and they have done less than 1000 miles...that cannot be right, well one side has gone. Anyone got any thoughts...

Faulty part if they were that new?

 

[paulob1]

I wonder if the welding of the new lower wishbones caused heat damage to the joint...as we left the riveted ball joints in place...this is how it appeared that ford did it originally..

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Is it both sides?

 

[paulob1]

no just one side...will get welder to have a look, its very odd, if could be just a duff one i suppose...

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Theres a new one in my iso if you want it. I wont be using it...

 

[paulob1]

ok will get it...where is the turbo and manifold...

Turbo and manifold i put in your parts room, as you go in the door theyre on the floor on the left near the leather interior.
The ball joint should just be in a box as you open the door on the iso...

 

[paulob1]

thanks hows it going in sunny afghanistan.

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Very sunny... but its boring.... glad this is the last tour...

 

[paulob1]

I will be getting my quaiffe lsd gearbox this weekend and then its rebuild Nitrous puma time...cannot wait...puma speed just isnt the same as Nitrous puma...

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Any spare goodies you fancy throwing into my car?

 

[paulob1]

nothing that would be of any use, i need the gearbox so i can rebuild it with another LSD...and see if we can rebuild it properly this time...not sure what we did wrong last time but it has to be something we did not the lsd failing...we will rebuild the two boxes side by side to see where we made the mistake...
