Yup thats right, with one member using crutches and the other sporting a feindish hangover and the war cry of SAUSAGE!!, Team IBRAKEFORCAKE produced all their secret ninja moves from the government and launched themselves at the Vegantune garage in North London, with surprisingly litle resistance!!

Hmm, something missing.


The other cars at Vegantune look on at the Trooper with envy...


Anti bonnet mishap device


no trip would be complete without.......




Dave and myself have been up to Vegantune to give the Trooper the visual once over and get a handle on what’s hot and what’s not before I have some time off in the week beginning the 16th October to actually carry out the work proper. Thanks to Gary, now next door to Vegantune at Wild Horses Racing, for some appliance of pry bar and a vast amount of experience where necessary.

Minor Works Carried Out
Fit bonnet pins and catch as the original catch is broken
Re-wire RH rear light cluster as the side light wasn’t working
Topped up and checked engine and transmission oil
Battery terminals replaced
Battery refitted properly
Air filter is horribly clogged
More stickers!!

Results of a stern looking at
Front pads and unfortunately disc are completely NFG
RH front caliper is very, very sticky
Front lower ball joints, excessive play. Need replacing
Rear live axle diff drive very loose

I am now on the look out for a local motor factor who might be willing to help us out with some if not all of the parts we need including a roof rack. Next up, pilfering visit to the local scrappy to look for interesting bits, mainly spot lamps.
