Had a big win with the wagon today. It has been running pretty rough, stalling all the time and idle was hunting all over the place. So I thought I would reset the base idle and adjust the TPS. Also cleaned the MAF and AIT sensors, checked and cleaned the dizzy and rotor, and now it is running sweet as :D Idle is steady at 750rpm, no more hunting and I took it for a good run and no more stalling at traffic lights or carparks.

Now the missus wants it lowered a bit more in the a** end, clear side repeaters and roof racks removed :roll: I guess I could add it to my to do list :P

Ah well, Prowlers didn't sell :( Gunna throw them on the Lane and see what they look like and decide whether to relist or not.

Attention was on the Lane today. Prowlers have been fitted and I think they will be staying for now, unless someone wants to make me an offer on them :wink:
Throw a bit of wax on it this week and get it looking spiffy for the Avondale School Car Show on Sunday!

Also gunna fit the original woodgrain from the LTD and I polished the upper explorer on the wagon yesterday, came up nice'n'shiny so when the missus isn't looking, I'm gunna do a quick swap. She won't notice :P

The missus must run a tight ship there then mate. No way in hell could I move my lot in one afternoon.
I do have a wife, 3 teenage s**t, a dog, cat, bird, guinea pig and over 20 years of accumulated s**t though!
