What did you do with your Range Rover today

Took "Buttercup" shopping today, and we bought a bulb for the clock so that now works

Also bought some hot melt glue sticks and fabric to make some upholstery panels to fit into the door cards if I can make up some backing pieces from hardboard, lots of holes to create for the fir-tree studs.

Puffed out a bit of crap and loaded my new general at3's ready for fitting and tracking tomorrow! Fück im pi§§ing myself with excitement.... Forest bashing at the weekend. That reminds me I need to polish the tree marks out of the paint

Today I fitted a new Buzzorst as mine had holes in where holes shouldn't be.
Strange thing was that all nuts undid without any trouble or shearing, even the manifold down pipe.
Whole process took me an hour.

Yesterday I found a small oil leak from the lower oil cooler pipe (P38 DSE) and looked through my spares box and found I had a new one so went to fit it.
When it came to undo the union on the oil cooler found it was seized on there and would not budge. So instead of stripping the thread I took the car to a hydraulic hose making specialist and managed to get one made up and cut out the rubber part and fitted the new one without taking the pipes off so saved having to buy a new oil cooler. the new hoses are rated at 1400psi so it should be able to stand the engine oil pressure.

Someone was talking about this the other day and recommending Duralac on reassembly to stop the galvanic oxidation.

Hi All,
Whenever I have seized metal joints misses, I reach for my Freeze and Release. Google it. At about £8 a can its not cheap but works a treat.
Cheers, Tricky.
