Back on the road



Good old Bronco it's back on service duty, just in time for Frank and Ros visit next week.

We changed the 3 engine mounts, including (look at the black greasy thing) the transmission's one. They were pretty worn out by now, as you can see from the pictures, and as a result the ride is now better than ever before. Best of all, the horrible metallic knock when pulling from start has disappeared completely. And I can't be happier, as no more whining noises are coming from the wheel's hubs either.

Next items on my list are to fix the window, the ceiling leak (the antenna seal lets rain water in), balance the wheels, apply a layer of waxoyle to the chassis, change all four light lenses, etc, etc... (do you get the idea?).

Good thing: at least mechanically, it's now running better than ever before.
