Bulkhead. So took the front clip off and let in
Some fresh metal. Im trying to bounce between

Think I spoke to soon. :lol:

Losing water and steamy tailpipe.

On the good note the steering box was swapped out today.
So much better. old one was very worn and leaked bbadly.

Everything removed / refitted was cleaned and painted.

Found a failed mounting bracket on the rad so will take that back to get
It brazed back on. Its only 3yr old so should be a cheap fix.

I would have thought so. It looks like a basic oil
Seal so I cant imagen its hard to get. Ive got two more boxes
kicking around so ill probably just bung One of those on
or change the oil for grease :doublethumbs:

Its so much better tho. I used to look like someone driving
In a fiftys movie when I was driving straight. :lol:

Changing the gearstick and location bolt made a world of difference
They came of a gearbox ive had spare for ages that I got from paul.
Think the breaker had about 55k on it so less than half of mine :mrgreen:
In mine The bolt had snapped and the selector had worn flat.
I put a thin m8 washer on the locator bolt to rotate it
90º so it was using a non worn edge.

It does indeed.

It's just the best daily driver ever.

Took a nice lane from Flitwick to Millbrook today on a scenic
Route to mk. Reminds me why I love driving an sj daily. Driving through woods and ruts with the sun shining. Awesome.

I use the lane through Steppingley wood. It's along the
Back of the new centre parcs. Nice lane for a sunny day.

A lot of off piste damage one end which is a shame.
