Phil...what can I say????
Just two words...you dill
Fancy doing that to your little baby truck.

Just thought about something...Phil and dill rhyme. Maybe I'm a poet and didn't know it.

This is a major bummer.. I was thinking about going out to this park, but doubt I will now - I need my vehicle daily to do business.. Geez !

Perhaps you should tie a boogie board to the roof next time so you can paddle to safety ?

[russ81]

Hows it going dirty sanchez
Mate it is a massive park with varying degrees of difficulties of tracks ranging from beginner to extreme the pig pen also has different obstacles placed in it you can quite easily go and have a great day four wheel driving without touching mud or damaging your vehicle it is a great day out and i highly recommend it

UPDATE:-

Picked Nissan up on Friday, unfortunately it got about 10k's up the road and died. re-started and another 5k's it died again. Drove around another 1/2 hour and died. Flattened battery trying to start it. Put in another ( always carry a spare ) and tried. Nope, call towie. Before towie gets there, car starts, but alas, only for 2 minutes.

Good news, Spotties work, air horns work, speakers seem un affected.

I sprayed all elec joints with a CRC product especially made for this kinda thing. No it is not an average CRC, as it leaves NO residue. Started car......... ran for 40 minutes without stopping.

Now I have a front main seal oil leak..................

I will get that fixed next week but i am not going to drive the car until after that is fixed.

The rear of the car sits about 4 inches higher than before with new springs and shocks under her. I'll have to wind the front up as it has a nice " rake ".

Air-con, is the only thing not working.

Cheers Phill

For finga:-

Phill the Dill went up the hill, to have a look at the view

He drove back down, around and round and ended up in the pooh,

The pride is dented, his anger vented

The car will live again,

Omens noted, experience gained.

I'll think I'll get that picture framed..........................

cya. Phill

not only should you get it framed Phil but you should get it air brushed on the bonnet so you will never be tempted again.
cheers
blaze

[Tangles]

The story continues.

Had the car at the sparkies all day and running without issues. Some error codes came up on the diagnostics, but that was explained away. It'll come back to mechanics tomorrow ( wednesday ) for the main seal to be replaced, torsion bars turned up and another check up. Looks as if i won't have her back until Friday / Saturday. Then it will be full steam ahead replacing interior, cleaning underneath and offering some TLC that she deserves.

One thing I will say, the Nissan is tuff.

Quick history>

Been a rolled over, headfirst into a large tree and now drowned. It will live to fight on.

Now that the snorkel has been all but fitted I have to place the second battery in the tray and return the airfilter components to original so the snorkel will work.

Cheers Phill

I'm too lazy to go back and check.... gearbox and diffs have all had the oil changed haven't they?

Good to hear things are coming along though...

Gotta love Nissan strength.

[Lucky_Phill]

Update. on the 12th June I picked up the Nissan from the shop.

Drove home with no issues.

I plugged in the remote central locking, and it works. Yee haa.

I also have some new tyres ( coopers ) under her as well.

The vehicle is about 4 inches higher than when it first went into the shop.

Has a snorkel fitted, new rear suspension, All fluids changed, new front main seal and more. All areas have been pretty well cleaned and it will get another squirt on the weekend ( under ).

All I have to do now is put it all back together.

Look out ........... I'm back.

Cheers Phill

[Poodroo]

Good to hear you are back Phill but there is one extra add-on that you have neglected. A periscope.

[Tangles]

Crickey, 4" lift, new tyres, snorkle, will anything stop this man now?.. Mike

[MY-TopEnder]

Gees Phil, sounds like its all back on track. Good to hear.

Lockers yet?

[GBC]

diff, transfer, and gearbox breather extensions. The way you drive, I have them hanging right off the top of that nice new snorkel.
