here it is. IF my first picture attachment has worked:doh

they maybe are at yours but these say rapeseed oil under the ingredients. so its probably horse then anyway!! oh its "chefs larder" too

hi everybody, im looking to do some minor mods to my lwb 2.7td. she is our daily driver and does plenty of miles so nothing too daft but id like to try a pay & play day soon so could do with some tweaking i reckon. shes currently running 15" nissan alloys with chunky tyres making a 27" roling...

the radio in my volvo was fine until my kids "cleaned" it then it used to change stations on its own (usually halfway through a good song), i took it to an electrician friend of mine and it turned out it had a function to skip channels for the news and travel forecasts. but because my clocks...

beware too, i bought some ktc stuff in a plastic tub wrapped in cardboard, the writing was chinese but it was on special so i bought some and she ran like crap on it. stay away from it!!!!

aha theres different types the "chefs kitchen" stuff in the blue and cream tins is 100% rapeseed ( with a stabaliser agent that they all have), its about 20p more than the soya stuff but she seems to run better on it?! just dont go buying it from hull as they dont get much in and i want it:thumb2

iv had another look today, luckily my spare wheel is a steely so used that to get my adjustment right as my alloys hid everything. iv tightened the bearing adjuster by another 90 degrees or so and its ok now thanks for the help people. oh i also changed my front brake pads too, looks like only...

i run on svo 100% rapeseed oil from bookers £19.62/20l i usualy put 40l in mixed with £5 unleaded and £15 diesel each week. then if it drops below 1/2 way on the fuel guage i add 20l more veg oil. she runs fine on that apart from needing a bit of choke on cold mornings. i reckon this saves me...

hmmm looks like new bearing time then. they come as a kit so is it worth me changing both at the same time or are they a bugger to do? i dont have access to a press anymore:(

phew thanks rick thats a big help, the pics great for my clarity too:clap. do you know how tight the outer bearing should be? i did it up finger tight then upto the next lineup screw hole. if i do it upto the next lineup hole surely it will be too tight?

i took some pics whilst i was doing it but dont know how to upload them:confused:. i put on the bearing adjuster/ then the bit that it screws to/ then the cup thing / then the copper coloured part with two tangs on/ then the shim with internal splines/ then the snapring. there is a groove...

i put the adjuster ring on finger tight then just tightened it until it aligned with the outer ring holes, if anything itl be too loose, but im thinking my squeal may have been my wrongly built auto hubs?

with the wheel and the autohub off i can jiggle the driveshaft up and down with my fingers, maybe 4mm. is this normal?

so iv stripped ,cleaned and adjusted the bearing.... but the driveshaft still has a LOT of play in it, shouldnt the bearing stop this? i thought it would run on the inner bearing race??? also iv bought a dvd manual and it turns out part of my freewheeling hub was in inside out!

ooo think il wait to see if i get any tips before i delve in then. i think its a lockring to tighten the outer bearing but no idea how youd torque this up?

so im pretty sure my off side wheel bearing is shagged, squeeling when hot, but iv done some digging on the forum only to find theres 3 of the buggers! so.... do i just change the outer one? or all 3? do i need any special tools? could it be something else? eg freewheeling hubs? ive got autos...

i think itd depend on the size of the leading edge. i THINK it has to be 6mm minimum, rounded obviously, still wouldnt fancy your chances though.

that looks fricking awesome!!! im reckoning on needing some welding doing to my front end come mot time so am concidering somthing along these lines, though mine will look a lot less proffesional:augie

haha gotta agree with this one, i normally like bullbars but these have just been slung on, what are they even off?

as far as i remember front "bullbars " wrere made illegal to SELL in 2002, BUT you can fit a used IE pre2002made bullbar to any car and you can still put a new or used one on a pre2002 registered car. also nudge/A bars aree still legal so it only makes a difference if you "glance" a pedestrian...
