what have you been upto today

tezzer · 10-09-2009, 14:55

well i have painted my second hand bumper i got from jimmy, and it's looking good, so then i thought i would check my auto hubs

to make sure they were disengaged, they was'nt, so i removed cover, the one on the end that unscrews and low and behold some dick head with a welding torch beat me to it, he has welded the drive sharft to the hub, now im up the river without an oar.

so im going to need a pair of drive sharfts (i hav'nt checked the other side yet) and a pair of auto / manual hubsin the near future. so im off to give my escort a gentle run around the block.

i never thought of it like that, i might just put up with it, at least i wont get any problems with the hubs

zippy656 · 11-09-2009, 05:43

thats true Tezzer.. save your money for a few days away

paulp · 11-09-2009, 08:24

Hi Tezzer

consider the following

1, did it bother you before you knew
2, will it do any damage
3, is it dangerous.
4, will it still work

If the answer is NO to all -- leave it be

have another beer and enjoy.

regards Paulp

never done one before but If you really want to do it, i am ok with a spanner and local (busy for the next couple of weekends) give me a shout and i will happily help where poss.

tezzer · 11-09-2009, 11:39

thanks for your offer paul, i was checking the fuel consumption because it seemed high compared to our old t2, i checked that hubs were working ok, when i found they were welded, but as ttt2 stated will it really matter, which is true, but if i find a t2 being broken local i will change them and the sharfts.
so it will stay as it is for now mate.

zippy656 · 11-09-2009, 11:46
