Time for us to take a closer look at our Daimler 250 V8. First up, we need to carry out out a full and thorough appraisal. The spare tyre needs inflating so we’ve done that as well as all 4 fitted tyres.
The coolant has been topped up, we’ve tightened the battery terminals, slacken offside rear exhaust mount and lower pipe slightly before re-securing.
Top up rear axle with oil, greased all points. We’ve then used a lock wire to secure the ball joint rubbers.
Clean fuel cap and make new seal. Fit nyloc nut to nearside upper ball joint. Remove old fuel pipe from the rear. Cut new pipe to length. Remove rear arches and rear wheels to aid fitting new fuel pipe. Start to fit pipe and bend into position.
Finish fitting fuel pipe and secure both ends. Fit P-clip near to the tank end to help secure pipe.
Sleeve rubber hose over areas of contact. Paint exposed metal areas on rear suspension. Clean and re-stick lower door to sill seals. Check lights in boot. Check power from disconnected wires in boot and all is ok.
Check continuity of wiring and again, all is ok. Check earth and found no earth to boot lid. Run wire down loom inside boot.
