Been away for a couple of weeks so just resumed fitting everything back and general servicing.
I removed the exhaust to get to the underside and also repair the crumbling joint flanges by the back axle. I think the spec for the flanges is the same as a Cadbury's Flake as I have been watching it crumble over the last couple of years. It was certainly the crumbliest and flakiest flanges I have seen. the pipes were good so ground the old flanges off and fitted two new weld on flanges to make good. Also used stainless bolts and stand off inserts for the hangers.Then put a new fuel filter on and started to change the timing and auxilary belts.
