Update 19/04/2019
Good day today! I’d kind of neglected the car over the last 5-6 weeks, I knew the brakes needed doing, just didn’t have time. Also, the rear wheel bearing/bearings started whining really bad.
So today, it was a veryyyyyy long, tiring day. The car tested me today ??? but in the end, all was well and the car drives the best it ever has ???
So, started on the rear wheel bearings first, straight forward enough. Removed the drum off the passenger side and the bearing just fell out, it was completely shattered. So it was definitely that side causing the rumble. But both have been changed for good measure.
Then, new Eicher discs/pads. First time taking the front wheels off the car today..
2 rounded locking wheel nuts greeted me.! ?? spent 2 hours getting them off..! Finally got them off and made a start on the brakes. Discs and pads off, and then I realise ECP have given me the wrong brake pads. So another delay there, having to use another car to go and get them.
Correct pads collected and then straight back to finishing off the job.
I am over the moon with how the car drives now, it’s improved ten fold since buying the car.
So in total now, the car has had:
New
.Glow plugs
.Front and rear wipers
.Battery
.Rear tyres
.Front disks and pads
.Both rear wheel bearings
Next on the list,
.Timing belt
.Front tyres
.Suspension
.182 interior
I like to thing it looks like a trophy if you stand from a distance and squint your eyes, the colour isn’t too far off then ?
