| He's got his Mojo back!!! |
|
Had him back out of TH Whites, Swindon mid week, then straight off to Scotland and back (via Newcastle), bleeding heck, what a difference!!!
Had the following:
Both EGR Valves replaced
N/s & O/s Rear Upper Ball Joints & Replaced rear Arms on n/s & o/s
OSR handbrake retaining eye replaced
ARB spacers added to front and rear
Replaced both track rod ends on front
Clear out all ECM faults (but provided with a print out of all previous fault codes)
4 wheel alignment on tollerance
Reset service light (from previous 90k service done elsewhere)
Result:
Bleeding hek, she pulls like a train, no gearbox judder, no rear end wobble when going over pot holes and mph up to 20mph with a 599 f1 in the back !!!! 
Next jobs
New starter motor (on back order) for next month
Gearbox flush (via site sponsor) for next week
sorry about quality of last photo

TBH I hate to say it but THW tech knows his stuff, crawled all over the thing during the two and half days there, found issues that lead to a bit more work than anticipated but the results are fab!!
Time to do a bit of detailing at the weekend, engine bay, finish off the old claying the o/s, then job done for another 7000k before the next service which is the BIG one...eeek
