What have you done to your Landie today.

undersealed wheel arch and checked levels on axles. easy day

Picked up its new propshaft, water pump bolt and made some progress on the slam panel

My series III passed its mot last week, so I thought it was time to change the oil. Lovely day, so got under (no need to raise it up), sorted with only about half a gallon spilt. Then I thought, they advised the front brakes were out of balance, so let's adjust them. N/s no problem, but that one was ok anyway. O/s wouldn't move, so off with the wheel and drum, off with the shoes and springs, WD40 on the adjuster and freed it with a mole wrench. Then tried to remember how the shoes and springs were before they sprang off. I got it in the end, but, as always, a one hour job took half a day, and my fingernails are all black again. The joys of old cars!

Not much just removed rear light guards scraped all the paint off a primed them ready for paint

Did some off road stuff yesterday and my missus failed to notice the flat tyre she had for a wee while (see pic)

So i buy 2 new tyres for the 300tdi. While hanging around waiting for them to be fitted I noticed a water leak, after some further investigation and much sweary muttering to myself I find that water pump pulley has carved a nice notch through the the top of the bottom radiator hose, and its damaged the top hose. Gaffer tape and several cable ties form the basis of the temporary repair until the new hoses arrive.

Finished building my axle

not strictly a landie - my speshul vehicle but....

Oops

Be aware - this can happen very quickly .

this what the exhaust manifold should look like....


Not this.......



you can see from this pic, exactly how little weld was keeping it attached - the small piece at about 11:00 ....


This is what it looks like now - after a touch of Tig......



Although it cant be seen very easily, it is only the boss that has been welded back on to the manifold - I didnt want to risk damaging the sensor by trying to remove the boss.

Drove mine, nothing fell off or leaked

Possibly swapped it for a 200tdi

Pikd up my spot lights for my 6 spot light bar to day hopeing to fit them 1 nite this week a think

Fitted the new stereo in mrs B's disco

Drove it to work and noticed a strange new rattling sound.
Had a look and a prod underneath, couldn't find anything.
I suppose I'll find out what it is when it falls off.

Well I'm getting a new shed to store all my landy bits 10x14! The old one was falling to bits and was only 4x6 or something... so I got a 2" ring spanner (closest thing i had to a sledg hammer) and smashed the fukker to bits and burned it to the ground!!!!:fighting::flame2::violent::mil83:

What? The Landy? Bad show.

Cleaned and fitted the steering box

Cheers looks a bit tidier than it did two weeks ago.

Finished up the refitting of the painted parts, had to cut the pattern bottom hose about a bit to get it to fit, but all sorted. Landy is back earning its living again, been up the field with mineral licks already
