don't you just love crawling under for a quick job and finding 19000 other things you need to do. my a.d.d. never lets me finish the job I start, until every subsequent finding has been dealt with on the way.
also, if that compressor ever craps out, I have 2 good ones just sitting here, but not sure how devilish shipping is to that 3rd world country, you live in.

When I'd finished last evening I was testing the SLS raising and lowering the truck, being a bit of a SA I couldn't see the buttons properly through the sidescreen and the sounder kept on 'donging' at one stage, I thought '****' it's gone wrong and then realized I'd pressed the 'hill decent' button instead
I tightened up the wheel (lug) nuts today and the rear shocker bolts now the truck is back on the 'deck'. All seems good.

After I finished off the last jobs on fitting new SLS springs I started on my headlights with the 3M rejuvenating kit recommended on here. I've finished one light............jeeeez, you wouldn't believe the difference it now looks like new again apart from a small stone chip I couldn't polish out. Brilliant kit for the money and to replace the headlights with new ones would have cost at least £400-600. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/37043...13=80&ff14=108
I must thank whoever did theirs on this forum and recommended the 3M kit
Tomorrow it's onto the new engine and gearbox mountings............that'll be fun I'm sure.........

Been a good week for me. Feel like I've posted here every day for the last 5-6 days.
Installed a replacement window regulator. Old regulator broke at some welds/rivets. I started thinking that I could drill out the welds/rivets and then refasten the regulator. Or maybe just JB Weld it.
Ultimately, I went online, found a replacement for $35, and swapped it in. Driver window works again.
Also installed a ladder.
Remaining on the to-do list:
Fix busted radiator hose (part on order)
Replace broken trans sump clip (part on order)
Replace upstream/front o2 sensors--parts arrived today. Going to JB Blast and read some threads on this tonight
Replace PS pump - for the near future

Replaced one of the front o2 sensors (the one that was throwing codes). I'll get around to the other eventually, but found the install process incredibly frustrating and was happy to stop after one. (Any reason I should make an immediate effort to replace the other front o2 sensor?)
Trans sump clip was delayed in mail. Will be a 5-minute change when it arrives.
This clears the path for the PS pump replacement!

AutoZone had the Mothers Kit on Sale for $12.99 the other day. The good one with a drill powered polishing ball. So, I bought one. Have not started it yet, been busy with another project. My lights are not bad yet, just a little fade so will touch up, but my wife's VW lenses are getting bad.
I just checked, and it's still on sale. Just click the save now link below the price.

France is very expensive for anything automotive including many everyday goods which we take for granted they see them as 'luxuries', like toilets
Dusty was right, it's still very 'third world' in many parts over here.
That's what I like about the US, you can live in the rural country and still get everything you need either online or in towns and at reasonable prices and not being ripped off.

I was at Home Depot the other day and I saw this woman that looked very stressed. I asked if I could help her figure something out. She said she was having a really hard time deciding between the Chrome or Gold fixtures in her new bathroom.
I don't know why, but it hit me really hard. I was suddenly ashamed that we as Americans are stressing about what COLOR our faucet will be. The faucet that delivers not only Clean Drinkable water, but HOT water, right to our bathrooms. This, while many countries are struggling to get a bucket of cold dirty water back to their huts or sheds.
I'm not saying I'm ashamed to be American, but it's sad other countries are having it so hard.
After that, I went and picked out the coolest looking, most unnecessary, tires for my Land Rover. That made me feel better...
