What did you do with your Range Rover today

[Tenebreaux]

Panic over, little sods had rolled under the wheelie bin.

 

[Tenebreaux]

Timing chains done. Runs well with the rocker cover off (oil everywhere, obvs). I think I may as well replace the rc gasket while I've got it off, they're only a fiver. Quite chuffed with myself, first time I've ever replaced timing chains on anything.

Your neighbours bin, across the street? That's the usual scenario!! Especially if it's something that can't roll far

Finally got round to taking the rear wiper motor off.
It's got a made in England sticker on it

I was once doing a set of brake pads and disks for a mate and I swear to god, dog from across the road ran off with one of the caliper bolts.

Bit unkind to call her a dog, just a bit ugly but willing. @Enthusiastman sorry for the delay in replying to you, my tablet died an I'm just setting up the new one, couldn't help myself had to look at the 22 alerts.

Well done that man

Was it a whippet?

Back seat done.
Door cards done.
2008 switch pack works with the 2003 mirrors and has a nicer feel to the buttons.
Rear heated seats still work and plugged straight in.
Mood lighting in the doors plugged straight in
Change of wiring plug for the door mid speakers.
Hopefully pick everything else up next weekend.

That is looking very nice

look at it on the drive trying to decide if its going to be easier to buy some nice condition front and rear radius arms to put the new bushes in then swap all the arms over, or have the motor sat there while i do them one at a time but that will take longer with cleaning and painting.
but then i will end up with a complet set of arms ready to rebuild

First post-winter check. Findings:

- the electric windows are draining the starter battery
- having a second one for camping means you can jump start yourself, engine came to life immediately
- both front footwells are damp, no idea if it is condensation or she's leaking somewhere, something to look after
- the tires just reached the age to legally buy booth, and I hoped I could push a new set out a bit...
- the exhaust has at least two smaller leaks, I'm torn between replacement in stainless steel and welding. Well, I bent the rear end last time I went off road, so...

Work to be done before TÜV and vacation:
new rear shocks, carb refurbishment, carb and ignition calibration, new tires, oil changes, new rocker cover gasket, new filters. No idea what to do about the exhaust.

But the Amazon Kindle based navigation is working! And the fridge will be delivered soon, I guess!

And still room for the kids

Nothing come through yet mate

Neither of us were able to send a message this morning.

Just had the Test and Trace app ping up and put me in isolation for 7 days... at this point it feels like God is telling me not to work on Honey.

I lit a fire and waffted a blanket over it and sent a smoke signal in the end. LOL

Can't do that round here as its a smokeless zone

I did something very similar... I farted in bed and wafted the blanket and the wife got a whiff
