Apologies if this has been asked before ( search won't work on my mobile and laptop is goosed ! ) Halfords professional socket sets are half price at the moment. Was wandering if anyone had used them and if they were any good ? They have a lifetime guarantee and seen as I'm going to start...

Thanks Rick, I'll see if I can get a look at it today or tomorrow. Not giving up on it yet !!!

I haven't macabethiel ! How do I go about checking bearings and brake drums ? Will I need to jack it up. Thanks

Got underneath this afternoon can't feel any play in the uj's. Not only that it's failed to start again after having new glow plugs !!!! Battery is drained again and had a good run yesterday to Scotland and back. Not having much with this truck at all :doh

Cheers fellas, I'll take a look underneath when I get back later.

I haven't fez, my mechanical knowledge is very limited. Happy to learn though or have a go at things myself if it isn't to big of a job !

Started to get a grinding/creaking/knocking sound from the rear end. Sounds almost rotational ? Worse when labouring in 3rd/4th gear or when steering in dead straight. Any ideas ???? Thanks in advance.

Update on car ! It's starting fine now :) Took her on a 200mile round trip today from Wilmslow to shap, then back to Oldham and returned to Wilmslow. On the way home from Shap I started to get a grinding/creaking/knocking sound from the rear end :doh Not a happy bunny !!! Haven't a clue what...

Don't know until tomorrow haha :nenau Only got it back this afternoon. If it doesn't start tomorrow I'm guessing it'll be the battery :D

Great news ! I have my truck back :) Garage managed to extract the broken plug and the dealer paid for the repairs no questions asked. Can look forward to driving it now and touch wood no other mishaps for some time. Thanks for everyone's help and advice :thumbs

Sorry to hear this, hope all involved are ok !

I know ! Gutted :( Just hope the dealer for fills they're side of things by paying for the repairs. More stress than I need leading up to Christmas !!!!

Thanks for the clarification macabethiel !

Good luck with that gear box. Looks like a big job. More than if ever dream of tackling.

So the truck went into the garage today. They've removed the old glow plugs but ones broke in the process !! The guy who drills them out is coming tomorrow morning. So hopefully should have it back by tomorrow evening. Just hope they don't have to take the head off to drill and the dealer stands...

Looks mint !

Thanks for the heads up. Dealer has contacted my garage this afternoon so hopefully all is in hand.

Local garage have said £60 to change plugs if no problems ! +£80 if need to drill out if you can drill straight down. If head needs to come off to drill £500 + :doh
