That is a very good idea. I've got my mine wrapped in an old cloth... but I could strap them down. Good call.

Picked up the truck today after a series of upgrades, and had the joy of washing it ahead of the weekend.
My hopes for a respray have also been dashed. The local spray shop (recommended for Defenders) quoted an eye watering £10K! I'll stick with the patina look
- Rust treatment and wax oil application
- New door rubbers (bottom of the freshly welded doors)
- Refurbished alloys with body colour paint

today I fitted a new airfilter element and drove it (the Ninety NOT the element although one and)
first proper drive since 200tdi conversion and mot
~20 miles @ road and faster speeds
that was enough

At least you know how far you can go before it conks out.run out of fuel today on the way to work @ 05.50hrs
gauge showed the needle just below the 1/4 mark

My 90’s fuel guage is erratic and I’ve learnt it does it’s own thing. As a result, I’ve become acquainted with fuel stations more frequently than I thought I would.
Now the golf had new brakes all round and a pair of rear shocks. I’m cycling to work instead of using the 90 to recoup some fuel costs.Mrs K’s golf had a bad day at the MoT station today. The Landy fund took a hit…
Still, the Landy got a drive and I got a wave from the driver of a 110.

Well the alternator finally packed in!
Checked the connections; and the battery, but the voltage kept depleting (13.5 > 12 > 11.9).
Drove to the local LR specialist, and the moment I pulled in, and turned off the ignition, the battery went flat and it wouldn’t start. Counting my lucky stars I made it to the workshop in time.

Went to go out this morning to find a flat battery. So todays job was new socket outlet closer to the landy so I can trickle charge the battery.
Not even my jump pack wanted to help today.unsure if there is a parasitic draw or the replacement battery of just over a year ago is crap… may have to nick the old one back of the S1
Cut some wood to step the battery forward.
