1400 Owners Life Today ( The 'What did you do today?' thread)

[grog]

Eric, quoted for customer. Centre bearing only avail with comp shaft, $2800. Ball joints only with arm assy, $4600 for all 4. $600 labour plus wheel align. Just over 8G. Totally ridiculous but thats the parts quote from Mitsubishi.

That's insane  and I thought LR parts were dear.

[VladTepes]

@Tony Nitrous  ain't that typical!

@grog  yep some crazy shit. And its only a mitsushitty

[Snapey]

Service time on one of the clubbies but I think the 14 needs to be ridden later.

[Roo]

Moved house last friday, from Rural to Town.....Here in Horowhenua Levin.

At 73 I ain't doin this again !  They can carry me out of this one !!!!

Took my rideon mower with me even tho the 1/4 acre section is only half in grass, gave the neighbours a laugh anyway !!
Lost 4 kilos in weight with all the stress of moving....!!!!!! 

[GSXKING]

How many times do you think you've moved @Roo ??
As an adult I think I've moved 3 times 😳😳

Got my 11yr old son a new Desk-top computer for Xmas,
So I made a Table for him today another thing off the list looks a bit blotchy in pics due to Polish but once dry I'll give it a finishing polish.

Very good Yeti👍Id have more chance building a spaceship than a table, not good with wooden things. Today was Happy Wife jobs. Fixed bathroom taps, replaced/ overhauled her car brakes. Ill still prob have to cook dinner. Not sure if you blokes have used car rotors that you dont clean off b4 use. They come painted, just wears off. My first go. The noise for first 5 mins of stopping, i actually had a look to see if id put a pad in backwards, that bad. Comes good pretty quickly but no mention on packaging about initial noise, thought it should be noted.

I put $45 worth of fuel through the mower.

Did all the worst bits.  Still got a heap to do on the front but if the rain coming puts it off for a week it'll still be so able.

Next year I'll go back to just mowing around the house, sheds and orchard.  It'll be rime for a tractor and slasher or I'll run some cattle in the bigger areas.

Yes, had them from RBA on my Disco4. Put them on with Akebono ceramic compound pads. I had no noise at bedding in thoug.  nice black finish.  Work well and look great.  I went for the slotted version. 365mm rotors and 4 pot TRW calipers pulled the 3t 4wd up pretty quick.

[grog]

RBA was mine also, Bendix pads, all good now. I put Bendix in my Corolla, amazing difference. Just timing belt to go on car stuff, then bike stuff. Bike all ok but want to check inside tank, rustproof under it, clean tea bag, spray every wire connecter with Lanomax. Clean external fuel filter, then my new brakes/ lines. Been a while for them but other stuff needed crossing off list. Just takes time, too old to rush.

Current place was done very much with the intention of growing old and not moving again.

I've had over 42 addresses; I'd like to move again but her indoors has had enough.
