Re: Time to rebuild the Marlin Roadster LWB
Last few jobs before the MOT:
Engine oil and filter change done
Gearbox oil checked and topped up
Rear axle oil topped up
Full coolant change done
Front suspension regreased
New stereo wired in
Wiper squirters rewired and repiped
Run up to full temperature and all lights and wipers checked - ok
Only concern is the front wheel bearing play, it's there but don't know if it's excessive and handbrake is on 6 clicks......Last edited by Jonathanjeades; 28-06-15, 06:28 PM.Comment
