it was a 50/50 mix of TFR and meg tech wash fed thru the low pressure part of the jet wash
had some fun today
took the passenger side wheel off to have a look at the alarm siren again!
only to find the inner drive shaft gator split not sure how long its been open but it was still full of grease and not much rust
local car parts called 2 on shelf £13 bargain
stripped all the parts out the way to get the shaft out oops forgot to drain the gear box oil lol but a good excuse to change the oil
its out
after cutting the split gator off with scissors i found the clip
after releasing the clip with a super large screwdriver the joint dropped off
new boot on and put the new grease in the joint
tried to find my side cutters to close the clips up but no joy ended up modding a pair of old mole grips
went over the seal face with a scotch pad
i then took the opertuaty to fit the front eibach spring to the shock
heres my diy spring clamps
and fitted with grease on the top bearing
all back in and ready to roll well apart from the gearbox oil that will have to wait till the morning
found a new fuel filter and clips in the batcave so they went on to
must remember to look at the alarm tomorrow

its pretty Baltic out side lol i still went out and jacked the beast up to fit the drivers side spring to the shocker
gearbox oil done to had to remove the battery to get at the fill plug that was a bit of a mission now the chargers there
edit:-
and when i disconnected the battery the alarm went off lol so theirs nout wrong with the siren must be a melted wire more to do in the morning then!

yeah i was shocked to find the gator split but with in 1min of finding it i was on the phone ""what the car needs the car gets"" lolsounds like we both found 'unwanted' jobs this weekend
the belt on the charger is now looking a bit healthier the new bearing in the pulley i fitted a week ago is still quiet and the belt is now running in the outer grooves on the chargers pulley its not showing any signs of wear on the inside edge like it did before so hope its now running true
going out with op-com in a min to find out where the fault is on this alarm driving me mad i think it must be one of the 4 control wires not making connection
wheels off again to look at the power sounder
all parts of the system are working doors/bonnet/boot switches level sensor
and the siren looks clean and not full of water and its getting power also goes off when unplugged
op-com reports 121 ""no response of alarm siren
looks like i have some loom tracing todo !
food for thought
