Not quite today but spent Sunday on a trek day down in Devon.

Much fun had by all and nice for me and the new defender to lose our off road cherries.
 
My new injector loom came this morning as I was leaving for work in an enormous box filled with padding. It was hard to find down at the bottom. I've nipped home at lunchtime to swap it over and have just been out in the wind and rain doing so, with bits of leaf and twig trying to blow inside the engine. I soaked the female multiplug on the main loom with electrical contact cleaner and wedged it upside down to drain the oil out of it while I took the rocker cover off, changed the loom and put it back together. A quick test run suggests things are a lot smoother now. The gear lever doesn't wave about in time to the engine's irregular beat as I accelerate.

I usually take the train if the car's off the road ;)
 
Looked at it again. Thought about how little I want to trace the issue with indicators. Wondered why my tame mechanic hasn't called to suggest I bring it in. Considered using the blue one, but its now full of junk for a boot sale my wife will probably never attend.
 
Finally taken off the broken flange. This is the aftermath

Fitted the Ladder to the roofrack and crossmember. Rack is now held on with 1 clamp, and 1 ladder at the rear & 2 ratchet straps at the front run thru the front windscreen hinges, and upto the rack. :0.

Have had to remove me Light bar, but luckily it'll go back on if I move it back 3" and then the lights will be protected by the rack. :D

Had a look at the rear exhaust bracket that broke whilst offroading at the weekend and after removing the N/S/R wheel i noticed that the rear spring had slightly dislocated its self had a look at the other side and that was the same both springs half in and half out of their cups, so i lowered the chassis onto an axle stand then lowered the axle left side low enough to pope the spring back in then jacked the axle back up and removed the axle stand then sorted the exhaust bracket out with a rubber mount and made my own bracket to go from the mount to the exhaust clamp so now the exhaust flexes slightly but doesn't rattle in the hole now ( side exit through rear wing ) then re-located the rear spring on the other side and now everything's ok again :D

I've been cleaning too. I cleaned the inside out with detergent and a pan scrubber which brought it up a bit shinier than my usual efforts with a vacuum cleaner. Then I gave it its usual wash outside and underneath with the pressure washer. I took the cowlings off the engine and fan and cleaned the engine bay out with the pressure washer too. It's running much more smoothly since I changed the injector loom so I'm quite pleased with it at the moment.
 
Got my 110's MOT done. Have now got 13 months :)

Advisory that tyres are starting to show cracks in rubber due to age.

Also very slight play beginning to show in front steering bar, but not enough for an advisory.
