    Wobbly Crank Pulley

    Finally had the truck out for a long drive (100km), loving it but developed a wobbly crankshaft pulley! Not much access and 'bolt' looks more like a fly nut. I'm guessing i can't just tighten up and the radiator has to come off?

    Success, I think. New plugs in makes a big difference... running on 6 cylinders! And starts with one turn of the key. Hoping the plugs were the issue rather than something else causing the plugs to misfire. Will see how she goes then think we’ll plan a drive down south.

    New plugs ordered. Ended up with the AA out. Truck judders when initially getting going but normally runs fine after 5-10mins. Yesterday it didn't and wouldn't get up the hill on the way home. One or two of the plugs have dark ash like deposits on them and when tested by removing each HT lead...

    New Owner.... struggling!

    Truck running well now for two weeks especially with nice new battery. Sadly developing a miss fire over the last few days so guess i'll be educating myself under the bonnet this weekend.

    New Owner.... struggling!

    The truck is now back with me in Wimbledon. Had a good drive back up the A3, having only 3 gears wasn't as bad as I expected. Cruised along at 80km/hr hitting 100km/hr a couple of times no problem. Had the biggest grin. Before leaving we'd taken it for a drive and had played around with the...
