I’m here, enjoying the videos, not going anywhere as I’m subscribed. Keep enjoying your truck as you pamper it into a stunning addition to the fleet. 👍🏽😎
That sounds awesome now its amazing what some good clean fuel can do. Air filter looks good. It will take a while to get that old paint off but keep at it it will be worth it in the end.
@@Fighting_Torque soon as I seen your channel I had to watch the video of the transit I've been gripped ever since. Your doing well mate you seem to no your stuff. I can imagine it's hard to get time with work soon as you start something the phone goes and off to a breakdown
Hi Bud, use rock auto in the USA for parts, fastest delivery I’ve ever witnessed, literally a few days, as for the gearbox oil, use an extraction vacuum thingy, sealey do one, machine mart is the cheapest stockist I’ve found and suck ghoul out through the filler tube as for the dipstick, look up a guy called Steve the manic swapper, on eBay he owns auto continental and breaks rolls Royce / Bentley Love the channel really enjoying this, keep it up and I hope your truck is fixed soon
Hi mate, I need to replace the sump gasket as its leaking, so sump needs to come off anyway. I've had the filters and parts delivered now, got them from the UK in the end, will disclose all in the video when I change the fluid.
That sounds lovely now👍 if you got to start ordering from the state's, I don't envy your waiting times 😞 them white walls are growing on me, or is that just me? 😂
I’m not sure if you have tried rock auto in the USA for parts on your caravan yet not saying they will have the parts since your in the uk but doesn’t hurt to try your mate Roger from Sudbury Ontario Canada
all buttons pressed , always do , a bloke called Matt , channel Diesel Creek , uses Kroil by the bucket full too, sorry if this is a stupid suggestion , but wouldn't a Rolls Royce independant specialist be able to help with gearbox questions coz older rollers , silver shadow etc use american gearboxes too ?? keep the vids coming , and longer vids would be cool too , thanks
Sounds fantastic, good fuel can make all the difference. Would a wire wheel be better for stripping the paint away? What colour are you going to paint it when its ready?
Its just going to be white, but thinking of having a very discrete pearlescent undertone to it, just to make it stand out on a sunny day. I think the wire wheel would be too aggressive, I had the orbital on it yesterday which worked a treat.
Good to make some progress. My gmc has a th400 gm box. Sometimes parts from rock auto in US come faster than stuff ordered in the UK. Channels growing well, keep going.
Proper shame some muppets painted it matt black! Had a rate nice paint job in it's day! Pay for me diesel from chesterfield and I'll give you a day to sand it!
Where's your bloody mask 😷 mate. If you intend to grinder the truck you'd be better off going to Wickes and buying a tonne bag of sharp sand and a cheap sanding pot and big tarpaulin and sand blast the whole thing. And when in shop buy a bloody mask 😷 😍 Or see if there is anyone in your area that does that dustless sandblasting. Never know might be worth a look 👀 👍
@@Fighting_Torque Ahh the famous clutch. Least your not changing it. That's a blessing. But look into sand blasting that body I done my dumper truck last year done the whole thing in like 2 hrs.

It's progressing nicely, engine sounds good and is idling lovely.
Yeah I'm really chuffed with how it's running, can't wait to get it out on the road.
Can't wait to see this done. stick in mate
Cheers mate, really trying to keep the content coming whilst keeping a recovery firm afloat ha ha, I appreciate the encouragement

This is going to be awesome when done, keep up the good work & thanks for sharing it with us 👍
Great to have you along, thanks for the encouragement
Keep going you'll get there
Cheers mate, really trying to keep the content coming whilst keeping a recovery firm afloat ha ha
Air box looks good 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
It really does, great purchase!
When you remove the sump off the transmission, weld or braise a sump plug in there.
I’ve seen some of the American guys do that on their channel.
Yeah I've seen that too pal. Next job is to tackle the trans. The new filters and gaskets arrived today so that'll be a video soon.
That is sounding really sweet. Progress is being made.
Sure is!

I actually quite like the white walls, I think it adds to the uniqueness of it ha ha
The left hand side manifolds have a tendency to crack in the cast,I had to change mine.
I suspect this is cracked, I think you're right. Cheers for the comment mate
@@Fighting_Torque try Westminster autos that's where I got mine from.
@@tutsywutsy cheers mate
Keep it up man I’m proud of you and your van
Cheers Matthew, great to have you along.

Nice one mate, lots of recommendations for them!
That kriol is good just a lot to buy at £25 a 10 onz spray can,only use it for special occasions.stay safe
It is expensive, I've used it on jobs that other stuff can't touch. I swear by it but I use it very sparingly ha ha
all buttons pressed , always do , a bloke called Matt , channel Diesel Creek , uses Kroil by the bucket full too,
sorry if this is a stupid suggestion , but wouldn't a Rolls Royce independant specialist be able to help with gearbox questions coz older rollers , silver shadow etc use american gearboxes too ??
keep the vids coming , and longer vids would be cool too , thanks
Yes you're probably right, I've found the American car community helpful too, lots of Corvette info that is comparable for me on this truck.

I managed to find a UK stockist eventually mate!
@@Fighting_Torque who is it?
What's the engine out of mate
A 1974 Rolls Royce Corniche
Good progress mate what colour are you going when you paint it
It's going to be white with a very discrete pearlescent undertone for sunny days
Don’t th250’s and 350’s use the same sumps. Some came with drain plugs. They’re cheap too on eBay
Nah mate, all different, this is the TH400, deals with more torque
Proper shame some muppets painted it matt black! Had a rate nice paint job in it's day! Pay for me diesel from chesterfield and I'll give you a day to sand it!
Ha ha might take you up on that mate. I've sanded/grinded for over 4 hours this weekend 🤮
@@Fighting_Torque have they sprayed bulk head in engine bay aswell? This is why rattle cans shouldn't be sold to some people lol
Where's your bloody mask 😷 mate.

Ha ha I know mate that's why I stopped. They were in my van which was still having the clutch replaced at the time.
@@Fighting_Torque Ahh the famous clutch.
