Found a coolant leak, only when my heats on... thank god its like 70 degrees here in Nevada . Also ordered two OEM motor mounts, since QT suppliers "re-quoted" me nearly $300 for their motor mounts, so I opted against them. Also, ordered a 180 thermostat and getting ready to build both front and rear bumpers and sliders this weekend

Still had old style upper radiator hose that finally started to leak so got it replaced as well as new thermostat. Also had squeaky belt tensioner so replaced all three pullers and new belt. Was pretty easy task and all seems to be working as should. No more seeing temps creep over 200

Is it cheesy if I said it was harder than it looks?
Looks like they cleared a path for you. Well done!

Did the Driver seat mod and gained a few more inches of Leg Room. I wish I had done this 3 years ago. New seat cushion for Driver Side arrived today along with the diaphragm. Also received my Autocom today.

Going to try and make SCARR so hope to get this all done and a few other things by the end of the month.

Lucky8 Swaybar Disconnects installed, went in pretty smoothly, but like I said in a previous post, the hole on the axle itself for the lower part of the arm wasn't quite big enough to allow the supplied bolt to fit, but I drilled it out a bit and it fit like a charm. I'm sure you could take a dremel to the spot and it would work like a charm too, there wasn't much keeping it from fitting. I used the dremel to get rid of a spur from drilling.

Also, the FedEx man dropped this off just in time for the brake line replacement that I have scheduled for tmrw.

Nice. Are you able to move forward, enough to be uncomfy? Wondering if I would still be able to put a kiddo back there, in a car seat?

Checked out the fault codes on the D2 TD5 today, all nice and clear, none stored and none pending , breathe a sigh of relief for awhile.

Started the Pajero up, now there's another story. The new damned glow plugs are useless, waste of cash . Never buy cheap glow plugs they don't work properly.

France, no worries. I still have a car seat, in mine, if I need to give you a lift.
