What have you done on your 90/110/130 today?

Just booked it in for an MOT later in the month. Time to put some grease in the gun for when it goes on the ramp.

Get those nipples greased

@pushmi-pullu how about removing the anti Luce brackets & top brackets & fitting the door to the wheel carrier?

Few bits of wide flat metal should hold it.
Bit of Angle on the inner roof to stop it flexing inwards. Could re fix a lock on if needed

Thanks @Hicap phill, great idea. I will look at it next week when I have a bit of time.

Getting it muddy.

Nice! Just what a Landy should look like!

^^^^+1^^^^

Fitted a new winch.

£209 for a replacement motor for the old winch (Britpart Pulling Power 12000), which I think is ridiculous.

Before you say anything, the Britpart winch was not my choice.

Bought some brake and clutch fluid. That’s as exciting as it’s got today!

Started it up, drove out from under the Gazebo (where it's been since June), turned it around and drove back in nose first so I can change the waterpump for a non-leaking version and fit the bonnet (after i've put the insulation on it).

Good idea ... I fitted a bright LED next to mine so I don't leave it on.

Never thought of that. Thanks, and another job on the “to do” list.

Normally the passenger knocks them off

Had to call the RAC out last night while on the A1

Sporadic power loss, just nothing on the accelerator.

Worked it out 5 min before they arrived,

Connector on the stop solenoid was loose. I let the guy get his pliers out to nip it up, didn't want to say I had a full tool kit in the back.

Mot today.
Before leaving checked lights & no high beam on stalk or override switch. So pop bonnet tap the relays on the booslang loom and all lights come to life. Problem sorted.
happy mot man jumps in & goes through what light switches he can find. Then I hop in & do the remainder.
go underneath while on the ramp & check UJs , handbrake, & disk pads.
All good no holes only a slight drip on the sump plug.

Woop woop it passed again. Now been out for a pleasure drive.

Does it cut the power to just the winch or all electrics? I’ve got one there that does all electrics.

Hi,

Just the winch.

For safety, I just think the winch needs an isolator. But I may be corrected?

Drove it for 200miles. Enjoyed it till it rained then got a wet foot.
Now I need to find the leak.

I think it may be the door retaining hinges....I have not fitted them.there are 6mm threaded holes in bulkhead
I was driving down the road touching the lower dash so I know it’s coming from that area.
(If not it’s the door seals or the split series doors)

thanks for the offer though

Finished putting back the dash, connected the heart box cable to the fan lever, replaced the warning light cluster. Fixed the warning ligh cluster and replaced it again. Replaced the oil pressure switch wiring. Discovered the new oil pressure switch only lasted half an hour.
Fitted chequer plate wing tops and sill covers. Revised choke cable connection to carb - it still prevents the throttle cable closing fully when you take your foot off.
Ordered another oil pressure switch for next time.
