sometimes I hate suzukis!

[ScottieJ]

I dont really but what a nightmare needed a new fuel pump as mine is pi$$ing oil everywhere so i got my dad to order one in through his garage, £40 later I thought that's cheap it was the wrong one! so I got the other one they listed for it, £80 later it looks pretty much identical but costs twice as much and it didn't fit for a different reason

So i phone suzuki and £102.17 later I finally might have the correct one on order??? I hope it is as I leave for france in the SJ on sunday

....that's.....cutting it close....

[Tramp]

Jesus! I paid £27 for mine! although I don't think the 410 one is the same, but I wouldn't have thought it was that expensive!

[ScottieJ]

it's a 1.6 8v one Luke and yep cutting it close is always fun I'm good at it I've got a front wheel bearing to do, and i would like to find a new rear diff before I go as there is a bit of play in the pinion bearing ah well I'm sure it won't grenade on me in teh next two weeks (fingers crossed)

[Edweird]

Well, if one diff goes you could just use the other one.

scott that explains your txt today....

i would recomend a couple of uj's or two spare rear props aswell...

i know your not going that far over but best to carry them..

do you need a small trailer....?????

Cheers for the trailer offer tony but then i'd have to pay extra on the ferry It should be all good I swapped some rear side gears over from an old sammy diff into one of my good spare 410 front diffs it's the first time i've built a diff so i hope i got the bearing preload correct I just counted the amount of turs it took to remove the bearing retainers and re fitted them with the same amount of turns It feels all good! (I hope) I'll be taking a spare prop and extra UJ, a spare alternator and CV
I also replaced a front wheel bearing last night and fitted some tie-down points in the rear bed for some storage boxes to go in.

My fuel pump turned up today so tonights jobs are to fit that and the franken diff and I should be good to go

[Edweird]

"Franken-diff!" What a name! Freakin' Genius!

[ScottieJ]

It's all in and ready to go except I noticed my rad has F'in split on the plastic at the top, but have no fear the legend that is parrot save my ass by dropping me off a radiator at work in bath on his way to a wedding! funny as .... seeing him all suited and booted in a daihatsu covered in mud

i will make sure i take plenty of pics for you all to see on my return!
