What have you done to your Landie today.

checked all spot light r working 4 to nights trip and fitted new bull bar

got all 4 roofbar lights working and fitted em wives led switches cos the old ones were bright orange and ya couldn't see out when they were on..

Fitted a Sub... Think i might be turning into a chav

Ripped head off 300tdi disco and it has blown across 2-3 and water ways. visual inspection head looks stained, but not split. Headset ordered and waiting for it to come.

After last night's fun & games I've replaced a split turbo hose with a spare one I had in the shed (from when I de-EGR'd her), and ordered a new set as I'm not happy with the hose on top of the intercooler. Seems that it's been rubbing on the bonnet under pressure which has been eroding the rubber! Just gutted I ain't got the funds for some silicon ones

I poked a screw driver through the rear X member. Think its time to get a new one fitted.

Helped Daftlett change the "P" gasket. 3 hours to have it all stripped and cleaned and a new core plug fitted. She did really well
New parts tomoz, clean the intercooler and rebuild.

How easy is it to take off the inlet manifold?
Mite even fit a decat pipe while it's easy to get to.

Assuming that the 300Tdi is the same as a 200Tdi -

About 6 Bolts (4 to block, 2 to Dipstick) and a intake pipe

With all that exerience, I do wish you would come and visit..... And change mine

got me disco axle fitted to the rear of me 90 along with new springs, shocks, A frame ball and calipers.
ready to start on the front axle now!!!

After the joy of omega v6 rocker cover gaskets and inlet manifold gaskets.

Managed to collect 300tdi head and get block cleaned and head fitted, still to fit manifolds, adjust valve clearances and flush cooling system-but not bad start.

OK - thinking about it.... :doh: And may regret it .....

Had the car Waxoyld in the doors and inside where ever he could get to

Ordered some diff guards. Only a month to wait. Out of stock!!

Dropped it off at the local garage for the rear diff pinion oil seal to be done, and a spot of welding at the top of the rear-right wheel arch...

realised that those parts of my chassis ive painted with red oxide and gloss black hammerite are a fook load easier to clean than the non painted parts - ie - squirt with hose - off comes the dirt .... the bits that are not painted - the dirt just gets wet and stays put !

figured out i need new rear drive flanges - jacked her up , removed dust caps and looked for movement on the splines - one side looks fine (drivers) the other moves a good quarter turn at the tire before engaging !

HD drive flanges worth it or just stick with the originals (after all they have done 110k to date) and i assume because its a spline ill be needed new half shafts - gaskets - any other jobs worth doing while im in there ?

Stuck a bit of exhaust paste on some leaky joints.

Then set it to work pulling out a small willow tree and beech hedge.

Alls good

Did a spot of repair work on the Series chassis - almost ready to paint it.
