With the DC Ps Pump, take the pump mounting bracket with pump still bolted on to a shop that has the right tool to remove and install the pulley. They can remove the pulley, swap the pump then re-install the pulley. Then you just put it back in the car. Remember the pulley covers the mounting bolts.

Up to you obviously, but I Strongly recommend it.

Thanks but its alright, I suspect you're talking about the garage down from your place? I don't like the way he does some stuff that I saw the other day, he'll probably try to 'press' in on with a hammer :s :lol:

Yeah thanks for that mate, I know the bolts are behind the pulley.

But thanks for the suggestion, it may prove to be the best way to go.

I got lazy after work today, but still did something.

I removed the rear wiper and the mechanism from my AU, I also removed the tailgate spear to make way for spraying over the wiper hole after its patched.

{DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION}


I noticed the wiper motor was unplugged, which would explain why the wiper didn't work or even make a noise. Even though I assumed it had been unplugged for a reason I had to see if it worked :P

It didn't and blew the fuse for the front wipers too :lol:

Here's a pic of the dash fuse panel, there's no 'map' of what fuse is for what or the rating it shiould be. Which is a bit silly..

{DESCRIPTION}


And without the wiper, looks better already :lol:

{DESCRIPTION}

With the holes sealed temporarily from the inside.

{DESCRIPTION}


And some without the spear, even though the outline is there from he dirt it doesn't really look right I don't reckon. Maybe if the number plate indentation was completely smoothed to the tailgate, but it just looks strange otherwise. But I'm not going to be doing that haha..

{DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION}


Tomorrow I'm going to give it a good wash and maybe remove the mudflaps if I can be bothered :lol:

I'm also expecting the TE50 wheel to get here tomorrow :D

This coming week.

It'll give me a chance to patch and paint the wiper and badge holes in the tailgate before it gets parked on the street so i can give my XF some attention.

I forgot to buy them today, but I've got a ire wheel and some rust converter and primer put aside at work. Start getting it looking a bit better 8-)

The TE50 wheel arrived today, it has a good amount of wear on the top and right hand side. But it's about the same as my current wheel. Shouldn't cost much to fix at some stage either.

{DESCRIPTION}


Unfortunately I don't have the right bit to remove my old wheel, so I removed the electric trailer brake and wiring instead :roll:

{DESCRIPTION}


And a couple of 'before' shots of the wheel and shifter bits.

{DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION}


I also washed it after removing the mudflaps, and it's not paint feel or fade in the pics, it's just the way the water went :)

{DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION} {DESCRIPTION}


I reckon if someone had a project AU BA or BF wagon and completely smoothed the tailgate including the number plate bit it may look good. Not my taste though.

I got a replacement fuse for the wipers, they now work again :roll:

And I bought the rust treatment and a wire wheel, the utes days as a complete rust bucket are sort of numbered :lol:

Yeah, well I can't park it in the driveway until I re-register the AU. But it'll give me a chance to fill and spray the holes anyway.
